Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a connector housing, a cap, and a lever pivotably attached to the cap. The lever moves from a transport position, a preliminary mating position, and a fully mated position. The connector assembly has a first holding means holding the lever in the transport position and a second holding means holding the lever in the preliminary mating position. The first holding means has a locking arm on the lever and a latching projection on the cap. The connector housing has a wall extending towards the cap configured to release the locking arm from the latching projection and move the lever towards the preliminary mating position. The second holding means comprises a locking protrusion and a locking reception receiving the locking protrusion when the lever is in the preliminary mating position. A mating connector displaces the locking protrusion to release the lever when the assembly is mated.
