Connector assembly with ejector

A connector assembly comprising:

• first and second mating connector housings separable along a disconnection direction;
• an ejector slidably affixed to the first connector housing, said ejector having a distal portion capable of contacting a surface of said second connector housing, and having a range of sliding travel from a first position through a second position in a direction substantially parallel with the disconnection direction of the first and second mating connector housings, such that said distal portion of said ejector contacts said surface of said second connector housing during at least a part of said range of sliding travel;
• and
• an actuator operatively coupled to a proximal portion of said ejector, wherein operation of said actuator moves said ejector from a first position to a second position, and wherein said actuator comprises an eccentric cam body operatively coupled to a pivoting handle, said cam body having a cam surface in contact with said proximal portion of said ejector, having a first position and a second position, and having a range of camming movement between said first and second positions, such that with said range of camming movement from its said first position to its said second position causing said ejector to move to its said second position, thereby said first and second connector housings are readily separated.
