Abstract

Abstract A lever type connector which includes a set of a female connector part (11) and a male connector part (12) to be fitted to each other, and a lever member (10) pivotally journalled on the female connector part (11). For temporarily stopping the female connector part (11) and the male connector part (12)in place, temporary stopper recesses (11d) of the female connector part (11) and temporary stopper projections (12c) of the male connector part (12) are engaged with each other. Therefore, it is not necessary to expand the lever member (10) by depression, with guide pins (12b) of the male connector part (12). Thus, combining and releasing of the connector parts (11, 12) are simplified for quick operation.
