ABSTRACT:
A connector (A) has a housing (10), and a lock (15) is formed on the housing (20). A lever (20) is mounted on the housing (10) for rotation between an initial position (FIGS.2; 3; 5) and a connection position (FIG.4). The lever (20) has a resilient latch (25) for releasably engaging the lock (15) when the lever (20) is at the initial position. The lock (15) and the resilient latch (25) engage in a direction substantially parallel with a projecting direction (PD) of the resilient latch (25). Thus, there is no possibility that the resilient latch (25) will deform sideways, and the lever (20) can be securely held at the initial position.
