Abstract
A female connector housing () is provided with a lever accommodating portion (B), and a lever () is rotatably mounted on an outer surface () of a main body portion (A) inside. The lever () is provided with a lock arm (). An operating portion (B) is provided on a tip part of the lock arm () and covered by a protecting portion (). In the case of separating male and female connectors (M, F), the locking of a lock protrusion () and a locking projecting edge () is released by pinching a first pinching surface () formed on the operating portion (B) of the lock arm () and a second pinching surface () of the protecting portion (). Since the first pinching surface () and the second pinching surface () are arranged along a deflecting direction of the lock arm (), a pinching operation is facilitated.
