ABSTRACT:
A lever connector includes a connector housing having interfitting engagement with a counterpart connector housing. The connector housings accommodate a plurality of terminals. A locking lever is mounted on the connector housing so as to be displaced between a lock position where the connector housing and the counterpart connector housing interfit each other and a release position where the counterpart connector housing is disengaged from the connector housing. When the connector housing is engaged with the counterpart connector housing, the locking lever is laterally displaced from the release position to the lock position. A concavo-convex engagement mechanism includes a concave or convex member formed on the connector housing and a convex or concave member formed on the locking lever. The concave and the convex members are engaged with each other and the connector housing and the locking lever locked only when the locking lever assumes the lock position, so that the connector housing and the locking lever are locked. A lock control mechanism allows the concavo-convex engagement mechanism to lock the connector housing and the locking lever when the locking lever is abutting against the counterpart connector housing.
