Abstract (en)

An electrical connector assembly (1) comprising an electrical connector having a carrier (2) and a mating connector (3) comprising a mate assist system adapted to assist the mating of the electrical connector to the mating connector. The mate assist system has a lever (4) mounted to pivot on the carrier. The lever is adapted to pivot with respect to the carrier at a pivot connection between the pre-locked and a locked position supporting the connection between the carrier and the mating connector. The pivotable lever has a lever arm portion (4b) actuatable by a user, between the locked position corresponding to an upper boundary level of the lever arm portion, and the pre-locked position corresponding to a lower boundary level of the lever arm portion. A flexible leg (5) extending from the lever engages a locking element (8) located on the carrier in order to lock the lever in its pre-locked position.
