Claim:
A lever type connector, comprising: a connector housing, configured to be engaged with a mating connecter housing; a spacer; a lever, including a cam groove, and turnably attached to the connector housing; a terminal, configured to be inserted into a rear end surface of the connector housing from a rear side; a positioning lock, provided in the lever, and configured to temporarily fix the lever to be attached to the connector housing; a jig pressing space, formed in the positioning lock; and spacer pressing surfaces, provided on an upper side of the spacer, formed in symmetrical positions with respect to a center line of the lever that intersects orthogonally with the jig passing space and a longitudinal direction of the spacer, wherein the connector housing is configured to be coupled and decoupled with the mating connecter housing in accordance with a displacement of a cam pin provided in the mating connecter housing along the cam groove by a turning operation of the lever, and wherein the terminal is inserted into the rear end surface in a state that the spacer and the lever are attached to the connector housing, then the terminal is held in a temporarily retaining state by the spacer, and then the spacer pressing surfaces are pushed down by a jig and thus the terminal is held in a normally retaining state by the spacer, wherein the spacer pressing surfaces are configured to be pushed by pushing pins which are provided on the jig in bilaterally symmetrical positions with respect to a center line that intersects orthogonally with the longitudinal direction of the spacer.
