ABSTRACT:
A lever-type connector capable of preventing a worker from damaging a lever when removing the lever from a housing is provided. The lever-type connector includes a housing containing a contact, a wire cover and a lever. The wire cover includes a main body, stopper and a first tapered section formed between the main body and the stopper. The wire cover is attached to a rear side of the housing. The lever includes a pair of side plates and a connecting part that connects the pair of side plates to each other. The lever rotatably attaches to the housing by bridging over the rear side of the wire cover with the wire cover inserted between the pair of side plates in a thickness direction. The main body has a smaller thickness than a distance between the pair of side plates and the stopper has a greater thickness than the distance between the pair of side plates.
