• and
• a lever, mounted in the second housing, and configured to be moved from a fitting start position to a fitting completion position, wherein
• the lever includes a lever-side lock part configured to be elastically deformed in a first direction to be separated from a surface of the second housing and configured to be locked to the housing-side lock part when the lever is in the fitting start position,
• the first housing includes a pressing part configured to move together with the first housing in a fitting direction at a time of fitting, and configured to release a lock between the lever-side lock part and the housing-side lock part by pressing the lever-side lock part in the first direction, and
• the second housing includes a lap part configured to be brought into close contact with an edge part of the lever when the lever is in the fitting completion position, so as to prevent that the edge part is deformed in the first direction.
