ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a compact lever-type connector in which a lever can be fixed in specified positions. Lever (50) is installed on a side surface (24) of a housing (18) so that the lever (50) is free to pivot. The lever (50) has a lever main body (56) and an extensible lever (58) which is attached to the lever main body (56) so that the extensible lever (58) can be extended and retracted. Respective grooves (80), (82) and (84) are formed in the lever main body (56) and extensible lever (58). An arcuate rib (90) is formed on the housing (18). Only when the extensible lever (58) is extended are the grooves (80) (82) and (84) aligned so that the rib (90) can be accommodated by these grooves, thus allowing pivoting of the lever (50). In the initial and final positions of the lever (50), the extensible lever (58) can be extended and retracting relative to the lever main body (56).
