Abstract:
1. A lever-type connector, comprising: a first connector housing; a second connector housing to be fitted to the first connector housing; and a lever pivotally mounted on the second connector housing; wherein the second connector housing is to be fitted to the first connector housing by pivotally moving the lever toward a fitting side by operating an operating portion of the lever; and the fitting of the second connector housing relative to the first connector housing is to be canceled from a fitted condition of the first and second connector housings, by pivotally moving the lever toward a cancellation side opposite to the fitting side by operating the operating portion; a detection member is mounted on the first connector housing and is movable between a first position and a second position; when the lever is pivotally moved to a completely-fitting operating position where the first and second connector housings are properly fitted together, the detection member is movable from the first position to the second position, and the detection member moved to the second position tells a completely-operated condition of the lever and prevents the operating portion of the lever from being operated to be moved toward the cancellation side; and when the lever is stopped in a half-fitting operating position before the completely-fitting operating position, the detection member moving from the first position toward the second position interferes with the operating portion of the lever so as not to reach the second position, and tells an incompletely-operated condition of the lever.
