Abstract
A connector assembly for housing a coaxial connection and a terminal connection is provided. The connector assembly includes a male housing, a female housing and a lever configured to seat the male housing into the female housing at an angle. The male housing includes a first support configured to fixedly hold a first coaxial cable end. The female housing includes a second support configured to fixedly hold a second coaxial cable end. A shroud is disposed on a distal end of a second support. The inner surface of the shroud is configured to slidably engage an outer surface of the first support so as to guide the first coaxial cable end along an axis towards the second coaxial cable end, wherein the sliding engagement between the shroud and the first support overcome the angled approach as the male housing is seated into the female housing by actuation of the lever.
