ABSTRACT:
A lever-type connector in which the need for a resilient member is obviated, thereby saving cost, and including engagement portions are less liable to damage or to deterioration due to aging when a large impact force is accidentally applied, this impact force can be effectively relieved, thereby preventing damage to the engagement portions. The lever-type connector includes a pair of female and male connectors. Engagement shafts are formed on the male connector, and a retaining lever, having fitting grooves, is mounted on the female connector for pivotal movement about support shafts. When the retaining lever is pivotally moved, the engagement shafts are forcibly moved through the fitting grooves, thereby fitting the male connector into the female connector. A lock portion is formed on a front surface of the retaining lever directed in a direction of pivotal movement of the retaining lever, and a lock arm, having a lock arm retaining piece portion engageable with the lock portion, is formed on a wall of the female connector at such a position that the lock arm can be engaged with the lock portion of the pivotally-moving retaining lever, and at least one of the lock arm retaining piece portion and the lock arm is elastically deformable.
