Abstract:
A lever fitting type connector, comprisinga first connector; a second connector fitted to the first connector; a lever interposed between the first connector and the second connector, the lever having a rotation fulcrum portion, an application point portion and an operation portion and the lever being configured to convert an operation force applied to the operation portion into a fitting force between the first connector and the second connector; and a breakaway mechanism between the first connector and the second connector, the breakaway mechanism configured to allow the lever to freely breaking away from between the first connector and the second connector after the lever has completely fitted the first connector to the second connector; wherein the lever pivots on the rotation fulcrum portion so as to rotate relative to the first connector, and the lever is initially mounted such that the lever is substantially parallel in a width direction to the first connector, wherein the rotation fulcrum portion, the application point portion and the operation portion are positioned in relation to each other such that when the operation force is applied to the operation portion in a drawing direction, the fining force generated by the operation force is in a same direction as the drawing direction, and wherein the operation force applied to the operation portion in the drawing direction regularly fits the first connector to the second connector, after the first connector and the second connector are temporarily fitted to each other in a lever operation starting position.
