Abstract
A right angle connector assembly including a first connector having a mating assist slider configured to slide along a first axis defined by the first connector and a second connector having a second housing and an intermediate housing attached to the second housing that is configured to slide along a second axis defined by the second connector that is substantially perpendicular to the first axis. The intermediate housing is configured to receive the first connector along the first axis. When the mating assist slider is moved along the first axis from a starting position to and ending position, the mating assist slider moves intermediate housing along the second axis from an initial position to a final position, thereby mating a first terminal within the first connector to a second terminal within the second connector at a right angle or ninety degree orientation.
