Abstract
The object of the invention is to allow a fitting operation lever to be set to an initial position with respect to a connector without particularly using a separate member such as a spring, the initial position being such a position as to allow driven pins of a mating connector to be received smoothly. The connector being made of a synthetic resin and having in a housing body thereof guide notches that receive the driven pins of the mating connector; and a fitting operation lever being made of the synthetic resin, the fitting operation lever having drive cam grooves corresponding to the driven pins and being pivotably disposed on the connector. An engagement portion disposed on the fitting operation lever is disposed so as to be releasable from an initial position setting lock portion disposed on the connector. Entrance portions of the drive cam grooves coincide with the guide notches at an initial position set condition in which the engagement portion is engaged with the initial position setting lock portion.
