Abstract
A lever connector is provided where fitting of a connector holder is reliably performed by rotation of a lever, so that workability is excellent. In a connector holder, a provisionally-retaining clawis provided to be elastically held by a first retaining portionat a predetermined rotating position in order to restrict rotation of the lever. In a receptacle connector, a pressing projectionis provided to move the provisionally-retaining clawto a retracted position where the provisionally-retaining clawis not held by the leverin a state that the connector holderis at a standby position, so that restriction of rotation of the leveris cancelled. On the other hand, an abutting surface of the first retaining positionof the leveris of a mountain-like shape including a restricting surfaceand a guiding surface
