Abstract
A miniaturized lever is provided for an electrical lever type connector having a moving plate to support protruding terminals. Recesses are provided on cam pins of a moving plate and these fit together with cam pins of a female connector housing. As a result, the cam pins of the moving plate and female connector housing are unified, and in this unified state are then fitted in a cam groove of a lever. Consequently only a single cam groove is required, compared to the prior art where two cam grooves corresponding to the two cam pins are necessary.
