Abstract: A lever type connector comprises two connector housings, a lever which is rotatably attached to one housing and has cam grooves, and cam pins which are provided on another housing and guided by the cam grooves. Connecting or disconnecting is assisted by rotating the lever with the cam pins and the cam grooves. Guiding structure is provided between the first and second connector housings for guiding the cam pins to entry gates of the cam grooves respectively as connection of the first and second connector housings proceeds at an initial stage of the connection. According to the lever type connector, the cam pins is guided properly to the entry gates of the cam grooves of the lever at the initial stage of the connection.

Abstract: A lever type connector comprises two connector housings, a lever which is rotatably attached to one housing and has cam grooves, and cam pins which are provided on another housing and guided by the cam grooves. Connecting or disconnecting is assisted by rotating the lever with the cam pins and the cam grooves. A lever position, at which the cam pins can be inserted into entry gates of the cam grooves respectively, is set as a start position, and a lever position, at which the housings are completely connected, is set as an end position. An attaching position of the lever, at which the lever can be attached to the one housing, is set outside of an ordinary rotation range from the start position to the end position. According to the lever type connector, it is possible to prevent uncoupling of the lever within the ordinary rotation range.

Abstract: A lever type connector comprises two connector housings, a front holder, a movable guide member fixed within one of the connector housings, and a movable guide member slidably attached to another of the connector housings. The movable guide member protects male terminals at a temporary holding position and is slid by the front holder toward an end position during connection. A elastic arm for temporarily holding the movable guide member is provided within the connector with the male terminals. A release projection is provided on the front holder. A space for stowing the elastic arm, which has restored its bending, is secured behind the release projection. According to the lever type connector can prevent plastic deformation of the elastic arm for temporary holding of the movable guide member without forming an access hole by a telescoping shutoff of injection molding.
