Abstract:
1. A lever-type connector, comprising: first and second housings connectable with each other, a lever rotatably mounted on the first housing and formed with a cam means, a mating cam means provided on the second housing and engageable with the cam means to display a cam action, wherein: the lever is positioned initially at a connection starting position for engaging the mating cam means with the cam means, the lever having an operable portion that is movable away from center axes of the two housings along a connecting direction to an upright position and then is movable substantially towards the center axes of the two housings along a connecting direction to an opposite side to bring the lever to a connection ending position, thereby properly connecting the two housings, and a peak being defined where a connection resistance between the two housings and an operation resistance on the lever both are set to reach maximum values while the lever is rotated from the upright position to the connection ending position, so that the operation resistance is reduced when the lever is rotated beyond the peak.
