Abstract
A flexible lock () is disposed on a side plate () of a lever () within a thickness of the side plate (). The flexible lock () can elastically deform toward or away from a side wall of a male housing (). A locking portion () on an inner surface of the flexible lock () is locked to a lock-receiving portion () on an outer surface of the male housing () to lock the lever () at a fit-in position. The lever () does not project out from the lever () in a thickness direction thereof. Thus a connector is compact in its widthwise direction. An unlocking portion () for unlocking the lever () at the fit-in position is nearer an operation portion () of the lever ().
