Abstract
A lever is supported so as to be rotatable with respect to a housing to a temporary locking position and a main locking position. One of the housing and the lever is provided with a first locking portion capable of flexible deformation, and another is provided with a second locking portion. The first locking portion includes a first apex portion and a first locking surface that is connected to the first apex portion. The second locking portion includes a second locking surface that contacts the first locking portion and stops the lever at the temporary locking position. The second locking surface includes an inclined side that is disposed, in a state where the first locking portion has bent due to interference between the first apex portion and the second locking portion, so as to be inclined from the first apex portion toward the first locking surface.
