Abstract

A slidably attaching type connector includes female type connector housing that 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. When moving the slide member in one direction, the tip end 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 attaching the male type and female type connector housings to each other. When moving the slide member in 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.
