Abstract
A lever in a lever type connector which is attached to a first housing, is rotated to fit the first housing to a second housing, and has a pair of side walls and an operation potion connecting the side walls. Locking arms are provided on the side walls so as to project toward an opening of the first housing into which the second housing is fitted. Temporary locking releasing portions are provided in the first housing. The locking arms are deformed into a state that a part of each of the locking arms is disposed on each of the temporary locking releasing portions, so that the lever is elastically deformed, when the lever is rotated. Each of the temporary locking releasing portions has an inclined face on which each of the locking arms is moved in a direction which the lever is elastically restored after the locking arms are deformed by the temporary locking releasing portions.
