ABSTRACT:
A female connector (10) has a lever (40) in the form of a single plate. The lever (40) is locked at an initial position by a resilient lock (46) before a connecting operation with a male connector (50). An unlocking rib (55) projects from the ceiling surface of a receptacle (53) of the male housing (50) near one side for canceling the locked state of the resilient lock (46) during the connecting operation. An insertion preventing rib (56) projects from the inner surface of the receptacle (53) at a side opposite the unlocking rib (55), and an escape groove (47) for receiving the insertion preventing rib (56) is formed in the upper surface of the lever (40). Thus, the female connector (10) can be prevented from being inserted in a wrong posture.
