Abstract
In a slidably attaching type connector in which a female type connector housing is attached to and detached from a male type connector housing by using a slide member and a lever, one of the connector housings is slidably received within the slide member. At the time of moving the slide member to one direction, the tip portion of the lever engages with one engaging portion of the other connector housing to draw the one of the connector housings within the other connector housing thereby to attach the male type and female type connector housings to each other. Further, at the time of moving the slide member to a direction opposite to the one direction, another tip portion of the lever engages with the other engaging portion of the other connector housing to detach one of the connector housings from the other connector housing.
