The first connector housing has an engaging portion and an unlocking member. The slide member is slidably movable on the second connector housing in the fitted and detached directions of the second connector housing to and from the first connector housing. The slide member has a retaining portion engageable with and disengageable from the engaging portion, and a support shaft. The lever is pivotably supported by the support shaft, and pivots as the slide member is slid on the second connector housing. The first and second connector housings are retained together by an engagement of the retaining portion of the slide member and the engaging portion of the first connector housing, the engagement of the retaining portion and the engaging portion can be released by operating the unlocking member.
