ABSTRACT:
A flexible lock (50) is disposed on a side plate (41) of a lever (12) within a thickness of the side plate (41). The flexible lock (50) can elastically deform toward or away from a side wall of a male housing (10). A locking portion (51) on an inner surface of the flexible lock (50) is locked to a lock-receiving portion (52) on an outer surface of the male housing (10) to lock the lever (12) at a fit-in position. The lever (12) does not project out from the lever (12) in a thickness direction thereof. Thus a connector is compact in its widthwise direction. An unlocking portion (53) for unlocking the lever (12) at the fit-in position is nearer an operation portion (42) of the lever (12).
