A lever-type connector has a female housing (F) with a tubular fitting () that includes a lever accommodating portion () for accommodating a lever () and an inner regulating wall () on a side opposite to the lever accommodating portion (). A male housing (M) has a receptacle () with an outer regulating wall () facing the inner regulating wall (), and has a supporting wall () facing the lever accommodating portion (). A cam follower () and a regulating protrusion () are formed on an outer surface of the supporting wall () and can contact the lever () by being inserted into an opening () of the lever accommodating portion (). Contact of the regulating protrusion () and the lever () regulates inclination of the housings (F, M) in the process of rotating the lever ().
