Abstract
A lever-type connector capable of simplifying a release operation for a lock of a lever locked by a lock while preventing the lock of the lever locked by the lock from unintentionally being released is provided. The lever-type connector includes a housing, a wire cover, a lever, and a lock. The housing includes a contact, while the wire cover attaches to a rear side of the housing. The lever includes a pair of side plates and a connecting part for connecting both of the side plates to each other. The lever bridges over the rear side of the wire cover and is rotatably attached to the housing between a release position and a mating position. The lock includes a cantilever plate-spring form and is positioned on the rear side of the wire cover in order to prevent rotation of the lever when set to the mating position.
