Patent ID: 7234952

Claim:
A lever type connector comprising: a connector housing to which a terminal having electric wires is attached; a cover that is mounted on the connector housing to accommodate the electric wires by a given range and lead the electric wires outside; a lever that is mounted on the connector housing to be rotatable between an unlocking position and a locking position; and a snap tab provided on the cover, wherein if the lever is rotated from the unlocking position to the locking position in a state where the partner connector is half-fitted into the connector housing, the partner connector is forcibly displaced from a half-fitted position to a full-fitted position, the snap tab is pressed by the lever and bent inward of the cover during rotation of the lever from the unlocking position to the locking position so that the lever can rotate, and if the lever reaches the locking position, the snap tab is returned to lock the lever, and a maximum bent angle of the snap tab bent inward of the cover is set to be smaller than an inclination angle outward of the cover when the snap tab is not bent; wherein a reinforcing rib that prevents the electric wires from entering a bending region of the snap tab projects from an inner surface of the cover in the vicinity of the snap tab.
