ABSTRACT:
A cable connector housing assembly with an automatic ejector apparatus integral thereto for facilitating disconnection between cable connector housings. A convenient quick-release operating handle is positioned on the connector housing assembly. The handle is used to disconnect the mechanical and electrical connection between first and second electrical connector housings. The connector housing assembly has a novel, pivoting internal cam apparatus which is operatively coupled to the handle, which, when extended, causes the internal cam apparatus to move a captivated V-shaped bar from a first position to a second position, thereby breaking the electrical connection. Internal to the connector housing are rows of locating ribs that facilitate the correct positioning and alignment of the cable end during assembly of the connector. The associated ejector apparatus is positively biased or pre-loaded via compression springs to automatically return to a reactivation position following disconnection of mated connector housings.
