ABSTRACT:
A connector-coupling lever is mounted to the corresponding connector housing according to the following steps. The windings of a spring engage with a supporting shaft extending from a side wall of a connector housing, and one end of the spring is fixed to a locking portion of the side wall. The other end of the spring engages with a provisional locking channel by way of an insertion channel, wherein both the insertion channel elongated along the side wall of the connector housing and the provisional locking channel extending in the direction away from the side wall are provided in a provisional locking portion attached to the connector housing. A bearing hole formed in a side arm of the connector-coupling lever engages with the supporting shaft. The other end of the spring is pushed toward the side wall by the side arm of the lever so that the resilient force of the spring can release the other end of the spring from the provisional locking channel so as to fit the other end in a spring-end receiving portion formed in the side arm of the lever.
