Abstract
A female housing () has a lever () to facilitate connection with a male housing (). An operable portion () of the lever () is at a lateral end of the female housing () immediately before the housings () are connected and is operated along a connecting direction of the male housing (). An engaging portion () is formed at an end of the lever () opposite the operable portion () and is engageable with a locking projection () on the male housing () immediately before the housings () are connected properly. Thus, the locking projection () receives a force acting along the connecting direction of the male housing () as the lever () is rotated. In this way, the posture of the female housing () is corrected, enabling the two housings () to be connected in their proper postures.
