Lever-type connector

A lever-type connector comprising:

• a first connector;
• a second connector fittable to the first connector;
• and
• a lever provided on any one of the first connector and the second connector, and configured to be turned to fit the first connector and the second connector to each other, wherein
• the first connector and the second connector in a fitted state are attached to an attachment hole in a panel,
• the one connector includes a lock portion designed to be flexurally deformed toward its inner surface side and inserted through the attachment hole in the course of attaching the connectors to the attachment hole,
• the lever includes
• an arm portion located on the inner surface side of the one connector while the lever is being turned, and
• a panel contact part configured to turn the lever by coming into contact with a hole edge of the attachment hole in a state where the lock portion is inserted through the attachment hole,
• the arm portion includes
• a deformation allowing part designed to allow flexural deformation of the lock portion by being located on an inner surface side of the lock portion when the lever is situated in a turning position to bring the first connector and the second connector into an incompletely fitted state;
• and
• a deformation blocking part designed to block the flexural deformation of the lock portion by being located on the inner surface side of the lock portion when the lever is situated in a turning position to bring the first connector and the second connector into a completely fitted state, and
• the lever is turned to the turning position to bring the first connector and the second connector into the completely fitted state, by pressing the panel contact part against the hole edge while keeping the panel contact part in contact with the hole edge.
