ABSTRACT:
To reduce the force required to assemble connectors, a junction box assembly includes a junction box housing holding one or more first connectors, a connector assembly holding one or more second connectors that mate with the one or more first connectors, and first and second cam levers rotatably mounted to the connector assembly. The first and second cam levers rotate in opposite directions about a common axis and engage the junction box housing, and may engage a common point, such as a pin, on the junction box housing. A detent system may be provided to hold the first and second cam levers in a pre-staged position in which open ends of the cam grooves of the first and second cam levers are aligned, and/or in a fully assembled position.
