Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a connector (2) comprising at least one pivot (4) and at least one lever (5) configured to rotate on a pivot axis (P) in the locking direction (K) into a mating position. The invention relates further to a connector assembly (1) comprising a connector (2) and a counter connector (3). According to the invention the safety of a connection built up by a connector according to the invention is improved by a lever (5) which has a locking face (9a) pointing substantially against the mating direction (M), the normal vector (N) of the locking face (9a) passing the pivot axis (P) on the locking face side (L) of the lever (5) or by a lever (5) which is configured to transmit a holding force (E) from the connector to the counter connector (3) which is pointing substantially against the mating direction (M), the force vector (E') of the holding force (E) passing the pivot axis (P) on the lever side.
