A lever type connector in which a connector holder is reliably fit into a receptacle holder to prevent a half-fitting is provided. In the lever type connector, a restricting recess is provided on the front side of an arm plate of a lever, and below a multiple force recess. When a connector holder is inserted into the receptacle, a rear surface of the restricting recess abuts to a rear surface of a receiving portion to restrict rotation of the lever. Then, when the connector holder is pushed down to the standby position where the receiving portion is inserted into the multiple force recess, the restricting recess is away from the rear surface of the receiving portion, so that restriction of rotation of the lever is cancelled.

Lever type connector including rotation restricting portion

A lever connector is provided where fitting of a connector holder is reliably performed by rotation of a lever, so that workability is excellent. In a connector holder, a provisionally-retaining clawis provided to be elastically held by a first retaining portionat a predetermined rotating position in order to restrict rotation of the lever. In a receptacle connector, a pressing projectionis provided to move the provisionally-retaining clawto a retracted position where the provisionally-retaining clawis not held by the leverin a state that the connector holderis at a standby position, so that restriction of rotation of the leveris cancelled. On the other hand, an abutting surface of the first retaining positionof the leveris of a mountain-like shape including a restricting surfaceand a guiding surface
