Abstract
A lever fitting type connector ( ) includes both connectors ( ) fitted to each other, and a lever ( ) interposed between both of the connectors ( ) and converting an operation force applied to an operation portion ( ) into a fitting force between both of the connectors ( ). In the lever fitting type connector ( ), the lever ( ) is rotatably pivoted on the first connector ( ), and an engagement portion ( ) engaged with the lever ( ) is provided on the second connector ( ). A standing mechanism ( ) is provided between the lever ( ) and the second connector ( ). The standing mechanism ( ) has a function that stands the lever ( ) when temporarily fitting both of the connectors ( ). An amount of rotation of the lever ( ) is secured largely by applying the operation force to the operation portion ( ) in a standing state of the lever ( ), so as to regularly fit both of the connectors ( ).
