Abstract
A lever insertion hole (6) for inserting a lever (5) is provided in a female housing (2). A rib (10) and a flexible lever-holding lock (11) are arranged on the inner wall (6A) of the lever insertion hole (6). The rib (10) enables the lever (5) to be inserted, through a key groove (54) axially provided in the outer peripheral surface of the lever (5), into the female housing (2) only when the lever (5) is at a predetermined rotational position. The rib (10) and the lever-holding lock (11) are together in contact with a wall section (57) of a coming-out prevention groove (56), provided in the lever (5), to hold the lever (5) from coming out.
