ABSTRACT:
A lever 40 is pivotally mounted on a female connector housing 21 through support shafts 27. A split groove 28 is formed in a distal end of the support shaft so as to elastically deform this distal end to reduce a diameter thereof. A retaining larger-diameter portion 29 is formed on this distal end, and a slanting guide surface is formed on a distal end of this larger-diameter portion 29. The lever 40 has support shaft insertion holes 43 for receiving the support shafts 27, respectively. An inner surface of the support shaft insertion hole 43 is enlarged in a stepped manner to provide a reception recess 44 for receiving the retaining larger-diameter portion 29 of the support shaft 27, and the retaining larger-diameter portion 29 is embedded in the lever 40. It is provided a wire cover 60 which is slidable in a direction perpendicular to the direction of pivotal movement of the lever 40. An engagement pawl 51 of the lever 40 engages a hook portion 65 of the wire cover 60 to thereby lock the lever 40 in the fitting completion position. In this condition, when the wire cover 60 is slidingly moved, the locking is released, and also cam projections 63 of the wire cover 60 urge the lever 40 upwardly to slightly pivotally move the pivotal movement member toward the fitting-starting position, thus enabling the finger to be easily engaged with the lever 40.
