Lever-actuated connector

A lever-actuated connector comprising:

• a housing assembly comprising
• a first connector housing formed with a first protrusion, and
• a lever member pivoted on the first protrusion and formed with a second protrusion;
• and
• a second connector housing configured to be pushed in a mating direction to mate on said assembly by rotation of the lever member about the first protrusion, the second connector housing being formed with an insertion groove to receive the second protrusion to allow insertion of said assembly into the second connector housing, the insertion groove having a wall part to be engaged with the second protrusion by the rotation of the lever member to pull the second connector housing in the mating direction, the wall part being inclined relative to the mating direction,
• wherein the second protrusion has an engaging part engageable with the wall part, and the insertion groove is configured to have the engaging part spaced from the wall part when the lever member starts the rotation.
