Abstract
A lever type connector comprising: a first connector; a second connector which is fitted into the first connector; a lever which is rotatably mounted on the first connector; and a pin which projects from the second connector; the lever being formed with an engageable hole such that the pin is inserted into the engageable hole when the second connector is fitted into the first connector; wherein by rotating the lever in an operational direction of the lever, the second connector is pulled towards the first connector through the pin upon displacement of the engageable hole so as to be fitted into the first connector; wherein the engageable hole is shaped such that the lever is automatically raised in the operational direction of the lever at a position where the pin is inserted into an inlet of the engageable hole.
