Abstract: A lever-operative connector which can be downsized includes a frame and a lever rotatably coupled to the frame. The frame has a circumferential wall having one opening and the other opening at both ends. The frame has a notch formed in the circumferential wall and communicating with the one opening. When the lever is rotated toward the one opening side, a part of a lever side wall is exposed from an interior of the circumferential wall so as to compensate the notch of the circumferential wall, thereby forming, together with the frame, a hood having the housing-receiving width. When the lever is rotated toward the other opening side, the part of the lever side wall is received inside the circumferential wall so as to open the notch of the circumferential wall, thereby eliminating the housing-receiving width and the hood.

The male and female terminal housings have first and second engagement portions. The male and female terminal housings are fitted in a first fitting position by the first engagement portion. The male and female terminal housings are fitted in a second fitting position by the second engagement portion. The first fitting position is a position in which the locking hole of the female terminal is engaged with the lance of the terminal receiving cavity, and in which the male terminal is not in sliding contact with the female terminal. The second fitting position is a position in which the male terminal is in sliding contact with the female terminal.

Abstract: A lever mechanism for connector fitting 1 includes a hold part 2 for holding a connector housing 4, and a handle part 3. When the handle part 3 is rotated and the connector housing 4 is thereby inserted into the connector housing 5, an engaging projection 24 is caused to retreat from the inner surface of a side plate 21 toward the connector housing 4, thereby removing the holding of the connector housing 4 by the hold part 2.
