ABSTRACT:
According to a connector engaging structure of this invention, first add second connectors are mutually fitted to with each other of separated from each other by pivoting an operation lever. The operation lever is pivotably supported by a housing of the first connector through a supporting shaft. An engaging protrusion is provided on a front face of the housing. An engaging hole for engaging with or disengaging from the engaging protrusion is provided on a first side wall of the operation lever opposing the engaging protrusion. A gap is formed between a rear face of the housing and a second side wall of the operation lever. When the second side wall of the operation lever is moved toward the rear face of the housing so that the gap is reduced, the engaging state between the engaging protrusion and engaging hole can be released. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an error releasing of the engagement of the operation lever with such a simple structure and release the operation lever engaging state easily when it is necessary.
