Patent attributes
A lever-type connector has a male housing (10) including a bottom wall (11) formed with through hole (23, 24) and a receptacle (12) extending forward from an outer periphery of the bottom wall (11). A female housing (30) is capable of fitting into the receptacle (12). A lever (33) is mounted on the female housing (30) and connects the male and female housings (10, 30) by being rotated from an initial position to a connection position. An arm (36) of the lever (33) is between an outer surface of the female housing (30) and an inner surface of the receptacle (12). First and second closing portions (40, 41) are on the arm (36) and are configured to close a clearance between an upper opening (13) of the receptacle (12) and the lever (33) by being above the through holes (23, 24) with the lever (33) at the connection position.
