Abstract
A lever fitting connector includes: a connector having a housing; a lever pivotally mounted on the housing and rotated to connect/disconnect the connector to/from a mating connector; a center portion provided on the lever to serve as a pivot of the lever; a center supporting portion provided on an outer surface of the housing at a center along a direction perpendicular to a connecting direction of the connector toward the mating connector so as to pivotally support the center portion; a pair of expanding-prevention portions symmetrically provided with respect to a virtual line parallel to the connecting direction of the connector through the center supporting portion so that the lever is prevented from expanding to outside of the housing.
