Abstract: A connector supporting structure includes a female connector 4 temporarily engaged in a bracket 3 fixed to an instrumental panel 1 and a male connector 5 where a cam lever 27 is rotatably supported by a male connector housing 26. Since a rotation handling part 39 of the cam lever 27 butts against a step part 16A of the bracket 3 to receive a reaction force, the cam lever 27 is rotated to effect the engagement between the connectors 4, 5. On the lateral side of the front end of a male connector housing 26, protective cover parts 26B are formed so as to extend sideways. Before fitting the connector 4 to the connector 5, the protective cover parts 26B operate to protect the rotation handling part 39. When fitting the connector 4 to the connector 5, the protective cover parts 26B come into contact with a guide slant face 15a formed on the bracket 3, so that the cam lever 27 can be prevented from being broken.
