Abstract: The present disclosure provides an electrical connector comprising first and second connector housings configured to be coupled and uncoupled from one another via a mate assist mechanism comprising a lever. The lever is configured to be positioned, when the first and second connector housings are in an uncoupled state or the second connector housing is absent, at a pre-lock position, whereby a blocking element of the lever is configured to cooperate with a blocking surface of the first connector housing, the electrical connector comprising a lever seal and a panel seal.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a connector assembly. The connector assembly includes a connector housing adapted to engage with a corresponding counter-connector housing. A lever including a first lever arm and a second lever arm is pivotably and sealingly mounted to the connector housing. Each lever arm includes interlocking means for connecting the first lever arm to the second lever arm at a first location. The interlocking means of each of the first lever arm and the second lever arm are configured to define complementary symmetrical surfaces that interlock with one another when the lever arms are pivotably mounted to the connector housing. On mounting the lever arms to the connector housing, the lever is configured to move about the connector housing between an open state and a closed state to secure the counter-connector housing to the connector housing.
