Abstract
A connector and connector system for a vehicle, as well as a method of operating the connector, are provided. The connector includes a connector housing that has slide holes formed at both ends of a receiving surface and extending in the longitudinal direction of the connector housing. A slide bar is mounted slideably in the longitudinal direction of the connector housing, with an end inserted in the slide holes. A lever is mounted at the other end of the slide bar and has one end turnably coupled to the receiving surface of the connector housing. The lever is configured to pivot in a height direction of the connector housing, press the slide bar further into the slide holes and fix a counter connector to the connector housing, when being turned.
