1. An electrical connector assembly, comprising: a first connector having a first housing; a second connector having a second housing, and a cover movably mounted on said second housing between an initial and a final position, the second housing-being movably mounted on the first housing between an unassembled condition and an assembled condition; and an actuable lock movably mounted on one of said first and second housings, said lock being movable, under actuation, when the first and second housings are in-the assembled condition, between a release condition where it does not maintain said first and second housings relative to one another and a lock condition where it maintains the first and second housings to one another, wherein, in an initial position of the cover, the cover prevents movement of the lock between the lock condition and the release condition, wherein, in the final position of the cover, the cover allows hand actuation of the lock, wherein the lock is slidably mounted on the second housing, wherein the lock comprises a first abutment portion, wherein the first housing comprises a second abutment portion, and wherein the first abutment portion and the second abutment portion cooperate to prevent the lock from moving from its release to the lock condition when the first and second housings are in an intermediate relative position, intermediate between the unassembled condition and the assembled condition.
