Patent attributes
An interlocking male terminal 45 is contained in a slider 4, and an interlocking female terminal 35 is contained in a male connector 3 so as to be opposed to the interlocking male terminal 45. When fitting a female connector 2 and the male connector 3 together, a connecting lever 23 is pivotally moved through an angle of about 90 degrees in a direction of arrow M, and then the slider 4 is advanced in a direction of arrow A. As a result, the female and male connectors 2 and 3 are completely fitted together, and also the interlocking male terminal 45 is connected to the interlocking female terminal 35, so that wires 5 are electrically connected respectively to wires 6. The interlocking female terminal 45 is formed integrally with the slider 4, and the interlocking female terminal 35 is formed integrally with the male connector 3, and therefore a lever fitting-type connector 1 can be reduced in size or length, and besides the number of the component parts thereof can be reduced.
