Abstract:
1. An electrical connector housing adapted for moving an electrical assembly mounting block away from a surface while at least partially withdrawing mated electrical terminals from one another, the electrical connector housing comprising: a housing body connected to and covering the electrical assembly mounting block; and a lever pivotably connected to the housing body and operative to angularly move about a pivot axis from a first position to a second position, wherein, with the lever in the first position, the electrical connector housing and the surface contact one another and the electrical terminals are substantially matably engaged with one another and, moving the lever from the first position to the second position, the lever being in contact with the surface causes the electrical connector housing and the surface to move apart from one another thus causing the electrical terminals to be at least partially withdrawn from being substantially matably engaged with one another and wherein each one of the pair of lever arms includes a lever arm free end portion formed in an arcuate configuration such that, when moving the lever from the first position to the second position, respective ones of the lever arm free end portions are in constant point contact with the surface.
