Abstract

In a pivotal lever-type connector, at the same time when a male connector housing is fitted into a predetermined position relative to a female connector housing, so that the female connector housing and the male connector housing are brought into a provisionally-fitted condition, distal end portions of elastic retaining arms, after abutting respectively against male connector housing-side inclining surfaces, are guided respectively onto female connector housing-side inclining surfaces, and slide on the respective female connector housing-side inclining surfaces in respective directions to decrease the distance therebetween, so that a pivotal lever is pivotally moved, thereby canceling the provisionally-fitted condition.
