Patent ID: 8356999

Claim:
A lever-type connector in which a first housing can be connected with and separated from a second housing as a lever is rotated, comprising: first and second cam pins projecting on the first housing; a first gear rotatably mounted on the second housing and being rotatable as the lever is rotated, the first gear being engageable with the first cam pin; and a second gear rotatably mounted in the second housing and being rotatable as the first gear is rotated, the second gear being engageable with the second cam pin; wherein a first cam groove has a width in a direction orthogonal to a moving direction of the first cam pin that exceeds an outer diameter of the first cam pin in conformity with a backlash between the two gears, and the second cam groove has a width in a direction orthogonal to a moving direction of the second cam pin that is substantially equal to an outer diameter of the second cam pin.
