Abstract

A lever-type connector has a lever ( 30 ) rotatably supported on support shafts ( 22 ) on outer side surfaces of side walls ( 21 ) of a wire cover ( 20 ). Guide ribs ( 14 ) are formed on outer surfaces of a first housing ( 10 ) and extend parallel to an assembling direction of the wire cover ( 20 ). Guide grooves ( 24 ) are formed in inner surfaces of the side walls ( 21 ) and are engageable with the guide ribs ( 14 ). Two housing-side lock projections ( 16 ) on the outer surface of the first housing ( 10 ) and two cover-side lock projections ( 27 ) on the inner surface of the side wall ( 21 ) are arranged to be located respectively at opposite sides of the guide rib ( 14 ) and at opposite sides of the guide groove ( 24 ) in a direction substantially parallel to the side wall ( 21 ) and intersecting the assembling direction of the side wall ( 21 ).

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A lever-type connector, comprising:
a housing with a mating end that is connectable to a mating connector along a connecting direction, a wire draw-out surface opposite the mating end and outer side surfaces extending between the mating end and the wire draw-out surface;
housing-side lock projections formed on the outer side surfaces of the housing;
a wire cover assembled with the housing along an assembling direction that is substantially parallel to th…
