Abstract
A lever fitting type connector ( ) has a lever ( ) provided with a rotation fulcrum portion ( ), an application point portion ( ) and an operation portion ( ), which is interposed between a first connector ( ) and a second connector ( ). The rotation fulcrum portion ( ) of the lever ( ) is pivoted in a rotating manner to the first connector ( ). In a state that both of the connectors are separated, an initial mounting position of the lever ( ) is arranged substantially in parallel to a width direction of the first connector ( ). A positional relation among the rotation fulcrum portion ( ), the application point portion ( ) and the operation portion ( ) is constituted such that a fitting force is generated by an operation force in a drawing direction applied to the operation portion ( ). After mutually inserting both of the connectors ( ) to a lever operation starting position, the operation force in the drawing direction is applied to the operation portion ( ). Accordingly, the connectors ( ) are regularly fitting.
