An electrical connector assembly is configured so that a plug can be connected to or disconnected from a receptacle easily and reliably. Levers (40A, 40C) of plug (30A, 30C) out of three plug (30A, 30B, 30C), the plug (30A, 30C) being connected to hoods (26A, 26C) on both end sides of a receptacle (20), each have a length such as to project to outward from the hoods (26A, 26C), and the levers (40A, 40C) are configured so as to be locked to a receptacle (21) on the outside of the hoods (26A, 26C).
Claims5
An electrical connector assembly comprising:
- a first housing comparing a hood forming a space;
- a second housing mating with the first housing in the hood space and having a rotatable lever being rotatable about a support shaft to reduce a force for inserting the second housing into the hood;
- the lever extending in a longitudinal direction, and formed so as to extend to an outside of the hood upon mating;
- and
- a lock for locking the lever to the first housing at substantially right angles with a direction in which the second housing is inserted into or pulled out of the first housing.
