Abstract:
1. A lever-type connector, comprising: a first connector housing; a second connector housing having an outer cylindrical wall portion into which the first connector housing is inserted and configured to be fitted together with the first connector housing for connection; and a fitting operation lever which is rotatably mounted on the first connector housing as a lever member which reduces operation forces to be exerted when the first connector housing and the second connector housing are fitted together in a fitted state and are released from the fitted state; wherein the fitting operation lever includes: rotation fulcrum holes which are formed in the lever main bodies which are opposite to the outer surfaces of the first connector housing so as to be brought into rotational engagement with boss portions which are provided individually on the outer surfaces of the first connector housing so as to project therefrom; wherein the rotation fulcrum holes are formed into an elliptic shape which enables the action point projecting portions to be disengaged from the projection engagement projecting portions inside the outer cylindrical wall portion without applying the force acting in the fitting direction to the second connector housing so as to return to the projecting portion guiding grooves as a result of their contact positions with the boss portions moving when the fitting operation lever is rotated in a returning direction after the connector housings are fitted together for connection.
