Abstract
A connector system requiring a small force for connecting a pair of connectors by use of a connecting operation lever in which a female connector is accommodated within an accommodating frame including flexible side walls provided with pivots and a male connector is then connected to the female connector within the frame. The connecting operation lever includes: drive plates having pivot holes engaging with pivots of the frame; introducing tapered portions disposed on ends of the inner surface of the drive plate for introducing the pivots; connection guide grooves for guiding the pivots into the pivot holes; and separation-preventing plates arranged outside the side walls of the frame to engage with the ends of the drive plates. Thus, it is possible to obtain the connector system in which the lever is easily fixed to the connector-accommodating frame and the connection of both components are secured once they are connected to each other.
