PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lever type connector in which inclination of the rotation axis of a lever can be restrained.SOLUTION: A lever type connector 10 includes a housing 100 that can be mated with the mating connector, and a lever 200 attached to the housing 100 and mutually attracting the mating connector and the housing 100, by moving from a temporary locking position to the main locking position. The lever 200 includes a temporary locking arm 207 deformable elastically away from the surface of the housing 100, and rotates between the temporary locking position and the main locking position, while bringing the temporary locking arm 207 into pressure contact with a slide surface 104, i.e., a part of the housing surface. The housing 100 includes a cover 107 covering the slide surface 104, and the cover 107 has a recess 110 in the internal surface facing the slide surface 104, so that the temporary locking arm 207 can pass through the space 108 between the slide surface 104 and the cover 107.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】レバーの回動軸の傾きを抑制可能なレバー式コネクタを提供すること。【解決手段】レバー式コネクタ１０は、相手側コネクタと嵌合可能なハウジング１００と、ハウジング１００に装着され且つ仮係止位置から本係止位置までの移動によって相手側コネクタ及びハウジング１００を互いに引き寄せるレバー２００と、を備える。レバー２００は、ハウジング１００の表面から離れる向きへ弾性変形が可能な仮係止アーム２０７を備え、仮係止アーム２０７をハウジングの表面の一部である摺動面１０４に押圧接触した状態にて、仮係止位置と本係止位置との間において回動する。ハウジング１００は、摺動面１０４を覆うカバー部１０７を備え、カバー部１０７は、摺動面１０４とカバー部１０７との間の空間１０８を仮係止アーム２０７が通過可能なように摺動面１０４に対面する内壁面に窪み１１０を有する。【選択図】図６
