Patent ID: 7568925

Claim:
An electric connector comprising: an insulating casing defining a number of cavities for housing respective electric terminals and having axes parallel to a first direction (A) in which said connector is connected to a complementary connector; a slide fitted to said casing to slide in a second direction (B) perpendicular to said first direction (A), and having cam-type first constraint means for receiving second constraint means on said complementary connector to produce a relative coupling movement between said connectors in said first direction (A) when said slide translates in said second direction (B); and an operating lever rotating about an axis (C) perpendicular to said first and said second direction (A, B), and activated selectively to translate said slide in said second direction (B); characterized in that said lever is hinged to said slide at said axis (C), and in that actuating means are provided to move said axis (C) and said slide in said second direction (B) when said lever is operated, wherein said actuating means comprise coupling means between said lever and said casing, and wherein said coupling means comprise a toothed coupling.
