  • the slider 44 is moved rearward along the mating axis XX, which causes the rack of teeth 46 to rotate the cam gear 56 via the intermesh of the teeth.
  • the cam gear 56 rotates, it cams the guiding pin 24 to move along the guiding groove 58 so as to help move the first connector 10 towards the second connector 12 into final mated/assembled position.
  • the rotation movement of the cam gear 56 stops when the guiding pin 24 meets the end of the guiding groove 58 and when the abutment surface 76 has been driven away from engagement with the blocking element 78.
  • the male power contacts 20A, 20B are first connected to the respective female power contacts 38A, 38B and then the interlocking contacts 22C, 22D are connected to each other via the interlocking shorting member 40 ( Fig. 6 ).
  • the first and second connectors 10, 12 are then blocked in the mated position by pushing the blocking element 78 rearward so that the blocking arm 80 enters the chamber 70 of the cam gear 56.
  • the cam gear 56 is thus prevented from rotating in the direction of arrow F, via the abutment of the blocking arm 80 against the blocking wall 72 of the chamber 70, thereby impeding the slider 44 from sliding frontward.
  • the blocking element 78 is pushed frontward to release the cam gear 56 from the blocking arm 80.
  • the slider 44 is then moved frontward, which leads to the rotation of the cam gear 56 until the intermediate position in which the stopping tooth 50 of the slider 44 engages with the stopping tooth 84 of the blocking element 78 ( Fig. 5 ), thereby blocking a further sliding of the slider 44 away from the first connector 10.
  • the guiding pin 24 is retained in the guiding groove 58 by the retaining shoulder 64 ( Fig. 4 ), securing the first and second connectors 10, 12 in this position.
  • the male power contacts 20A, 20B are still connected to the female power contacts 38A, 38B but the interlocking contacts 22C, 22D are disconnected from each other.
  • the button 48 is then pushed along an axis parallel to the axis YY, which deflects the flexible arm 82 downward, thereby disengaging the stopping tooth 84 from the stopping tooth 50 of the slider 44.
  • the slider 44 is then moved further away from the first connector 10 to disengage the guiding pin 24 from the guiding groove 58 and to unmate the first and second connectors 10, 12.
  • the guiding pin 24, the slider 44 and the cam gear 56 form a mating/unmating assistance system for the two connectors 10, 12.
  • the blocking element 78 with the stopping tooth 84 and the stopping tooth 50 of the slider 44 form a blocking system which blocks the first and second connectors 10, 12 in the intermediate position upon the unmating of the first and second connectors 10, 12.
  • the retaining shoulder 64 forms a securing system which secures the first and second connectors 10, 12 in the intermediate position. Indeed, even if the operator applies on the slider 44 a frontward force, the cam gear 56 is prevented from rotating in the direction of arrow Z by the guiding pin 24 being captured in the retaining shoulder 64. Therefore, the operator cannot unmate the two connectors 10, 12 only by separating them along the mating axis XX.
  • the button 48 forms a releasing system which releases the blocking system, thereby releasing the first and second connectors 10, 12 from the intermediate position.
  • the blocking system together with the securing system and the releasing system enable to ensure that the male power contacts 20A, 20B are no longer powered while being disconnected from the female power contacts 38A, 38B. This prevents electrical arcing from occurring upon unmating the first and second connectors. Indeed, the time period needed by the operator for actuating the releasing system, for instance at least one second, is sufficient for powering off the power contacts 20A, 20B, 38A, 38B. In this way, in the intermediate position, the power contacts 20A, 20B, 38A, 38B being disconnected from the power source and still connected to each other, the remaining power flow decreases by flowing from one of the power contacts to the other.
  • the invention provides an electrical connector assembly wherein the first and second connectors can be safely unmated.
