Abstract
A lever-type connector has a lever that rotates about a shaft on a first housing between a retracted position and a connection start position. The first housing and a second housing are connected by rotation of the lever from the connection start position. A detector is movable between a standby position and a detection position with respect to the lever. The lever includes a lock on an end separated from the shaft. The second housing includes a full locking portion to engage the lock when the housings are connected. The detector locks the lock at the standby position and becomes movable to the detection position when the full locking portion engages the lock. The first housing includes a housing-side lock, and the lever includes a lever-side lock that locks the housing-side lock at the retracted position. The lever-side lock is at a position different from the lock of the lever.
