20150325950 | LEVER TYPE CONNECTOR - A fitting operation lever, provided for fitting connector housings with each other, becomes detachable from the connector housings. The fitting operation lever includes boss pivot supporting grooves with which first lever engaging shafts of the first connector housing are engaged to pivot the fitting operation lever, boss leading grooves which guide second lever engaging shafts of the second connector housing to fitting initial positions, and cam grooves which communicate with the boss leading grooves. The connector housings are closely fitted with each other through the cam grooves in accordance with pivoting of the fitting operation lever. The cam grooves become disengaged from the second lever engaging shafts when the fitting operation lever is further pivoted. | 11-12-2015 |
20150333443 | LATCH ASSEMBLIES FOR CONNECTOR SYSTEMS - A connector system includes a cavity configured to hold a connector module. The cartridge has a port opening to the cavity. The cartridge removably receives the connector module through the port. The connector system also includes an ejector mechanism. The ejector mechanism has a slider latch movable in a longitudinal direction relative to the cartridge. The slider latch has a profiled groove configured to cam therein. The slider latch has a linear gear. The ejector mechanism includes a rotatable handle having a circular gear configured to engage the linear gear to cause the slider latch to move as the rotatable handle is rotated between a closed position and an open position. The profiled groove engages the cam to secure the connector module to the connector assembly when the rotatable handle is in the closed position and unlock the connector module when in the open position. | 11-19-2015 |

20160141798 | LEVER TYPE CONNECTOR - A lever type connector includes a first connector housing, a second connector housing having a hood into which the first connector housing is fitted, and a fitting operation lever coupled to the first connector housing. The fitting operation lever is rotatable from a rotation start position to a rotation end position to completely fit the first and second connector housings to each other. The first connector housing includes a temporarily locking portion to temporarily lock the fitting operation lever at the rotation start position. The second connector housing includes a temporal-locking releasing portion to release the fitting operation lever from being temporarily locked by the temporarily locking portion. The fitting operation lever includes a posture holding tab configured to fill a space between the hood and the first connector housing to hold the first connector housing and the fitting operation lever in a posture parallel to the hood. | 05-19-2016 |
20160149342 | RATCHETING LEVER ACTUATED CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY - A connector assembly including a first and second connector configured to be connected to the first connector. The first connector has a slide including a cam groove for receiving a latch pin defined by the second connector. The slide is moved by a lever such that the cam groove and the latch pin cooperate to draw the first and second connectors from an uncoupled position to a fully coupled position when moved from an initial to final position. A ratcheting mechanism couples the lever to the slide allowing the lever to return from the final position to the initial position without disconnecting the first and second connectors. The lever is configured to move through more than one stroke from the initial position to the final position to bring the first and second connectors from the uncoupled position to the fully coupled position. | 05-26-2016 |
