ABSTRACT:
A lever type electrical connector assembly includes a connector housing provided for mounting a plurality of terminals. The housing includes a forward end for mating with a complementary mating connector and a rear end for receiving a plurality of electrical wires for termination to the terminals. A mating assist lever is pivotally movably mounted on the housing for movement in a pivotal operating stroke between a pre-load position at one end of the stroke to allow the electrical wires to be terminated to the terminals and a mated position at an opposite end of the stroke. Interengaging latches are provided between the connector housing and the mating assist lever to hold the lever in its pre-load position. A wire dress cover is mountable over the rear end of the housing to protect the connections between the electrical wires and the terminals. The wire dress cover has release means for disengaging the latches to allow the mating assist lever to be pivoted after the cover is mounted on the housing.
