Publication number: 20240154360Abstract: A connector includes a housing with a latching lock and a lever latch section which is independent from the latching lock. A partner connector includes a partner housing with a lock section which is latchable by the latching lock. The lever is changeable between a non-latched state and a latched state, wherein when changing the lever from the non-latched state to the latched state, the lever connects the connector to the partner connector so as to cause the connector and the partner connector to approach each other in a forward-rearward direction. The connector is configured to be fixed to the partner connector by the lever being brought into the latched state and by the lock section being brought into a state in which the lock section is latched by the latching lock.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Applicant: Yazaki CorporationInventors: Yasuhiro SASAKI, Jun ISHIKAWA, Yuki NORO
