The second connector includes a freely-pivoting lever with a pair of connector guide holes. The first connector includes a pair of guide pins. A connector box secured at any given location includes a connector cavity, with an opening on the mating member side, for the first and second connectors. Guide rails are provided in the connector box housing for guiding the first and second connectors.
