Abstract
The present invention provides a compact lever-type connector with a large degree of freedom in design, which makes it possible to obtain a low-mating force. A lever 10 which has gears 26, and slides 30 which have racks 40 and cam grooves 36a through 36c and 37a through 37c that engage with cam followers of the mating connectors, are attached to a cap housing 2. The racks 40 are driven by the gears 26 of the lever 10. These racks 40 and the cam grooves 36a through 36c and 37a through 37c are respectively formed on opposite sides of the slides 30.
