ABSTRACT:
A female housing (1) is formed with a lever accommodating space (21). Two supporting shafts (34) project coaxially from the upper and lower inner surfaces of the lever accommodating space (21) to face each other while defining a clearance therebetween. A lever (3) is formed with a mount hole (27), and the supporting shafts (34) are fit rotatably into the mount hole (27) while forcibly widening the clearance between the supporting shafts (34). The clearance between the supporting shafts (34) is wider at an entrance side and narrower at an exit side with respect to an assembling direction. Thus, the detachment of the lever is resisted while resistance during an assembling operation is suppressed.
