ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly includes a first housing half having an opened end face formed by upstanding side walls where inner surfaces of the side walls have camming grooves formed on the inner surfaces thereof. The grooves emanate from the opened end face and one groove has a laterally extending slot portion in communication with an inclined slot portion whereas a second camming slot is comprised of an inclined slot portion only. The housing portion includes a camming slide which is slidable moveable within a slot portion of the housing portion. The camming slide includes side arms having camming spigots positioned thereon. The housing portion is insertable through the open end face and movement of the camming slide positions the spigots in the inclined portion of the slot and the spigot portion and the inclined slot portion whereby the connector halves are drawn together in mated relation.
