Abstract
A lever of a lever connector is provided with an identifying means . When two housings and are in a shallowly fitted state, the identifying means allows the positional relationship between the lever and cam pins , relative to the direction of movement of the lever , to be identified visually. When the lever is in a correct stand-by position, the cam pins are entirely covered by a covering member . When the lever is even slightly misaligned from the correct stand-by position, a portion of the cam pin protrudes into an aperture . Thus, it is possible to ascertain whether the lever is in the correct stand-by position according to whether the cam pins are entirely covered.
