Abstract

See full text

An electrical connector assembly includes a female connector and a male connector, wherein the female connector comprises a first connector piece adapted to retain female terminals therein and a second connector piece having internal camming projections; the first and second connector pieces being disposed for relative movement such that, upon movement of the second connector piece towards the first connector piece by actuation of external camming members, the internal camming projects deflect spring contact members on the female terminals, whereby the force needed to mate or unmate male terminals with the female terminals is reduced.
