ABSTRACT:
Disclosure is a mechanism for preventing from a lever type connectro being erroneously actuated wherein each connector fitting operation can smoothly be achieved while preventing a cam lever from being erroneously turned, when a male connector is inserted into an female connector housing having the cam lever turnably supported thereon to assume a half fitted state. Sliding slots are formed on a pair of side walls of a female connector housing, while pins are projected outside of side walls of a male connector. A cam lever having eccentric cam grooves formed on the side wall surfaces thereof is turnably supported not only in the joint portion between adjacent female connector housings and but also on the outer side surfaces of the same to turn about a cam shaft, and both the female connector housings are jointed to each other via an actuating plate extending therebetween. A provisional engagement portion is formed on a side edge at the rear end of a horizontal groove portion of the eccentric cam groove, while an provisional engagement receiving portion is formed on the cylindrical surface of a pin projecting outside of the male connector at the position corresponding to the provisional engagement portion of the cam levers.
