Abstract
A junction block assembly includes a junction block holding at least two first connectors, and at least two second connectors that mate with the first connectors. To reduce the force required to assemble the connectors, first and second cam levers are rotatably mounted to the junction block. The first and second cam levers each engage one of the second connectors and pull the engaged second connector into connection with a mating one of the first connectors. An arm of the second cam lever travels past an arm of the first cam lever during rotation.
