Abstract
A female connector and a male connector engageable with each other are paired. Fixing shafts are projected from both lateral sides of the male connector. The female connector has a retaining lever being pivotable about pivots arranged on both lateral sides thereof. Rail portions are arranged on a front surface of the lever, each rail portion having a predetermined surface of curvature. When the male connector is inserted into the female connector, shaft portions of the fixing shafts are abutted against the rail portions and bias the rail portions, so that the surfaces of curvature produce resisting forces, each having a component for pivoting the lever.
