US Patent 7329132 Low-insertion force-lever connector for blind mating

An electrical connector according to the present teachings can be coupled together with a low insertion force. The electrical connector can utilize levers to create a mechanical advantage and reduce the input force required to couple the mating members together and interconnect the electrical terminals. When utilized as a blind mating electrical connector, the connector can include visual indicators indicative of the proper and complete coupling of the mating members and interconnection of the terminals.
