摘要： An electrical connector includes a housing and a lever supported pivotally on at least one pivot disposed on the housing. The lever rotates on the pivot within a range from a pre-engagement position to a final engagement position. The lever also has a recess configured to fit a boss disposed on a mating connector therein in accordance with rotational movement of the lever. Further, the lever includes a locking portion disposed on a beam thereof. The locking portion includes a base portion extending downward from the beam, a latching arm extending from the base portion in a direction substantially tangent to the rotational movement; and a latching detent disposed in proximity of a free end of the latching arm. The latching detent is configured to engage with the engaging portion of the housing at the second position, and thereby rotational movement of the lever is restrained at the final engagement position.
