Lever-type connector

A lever-type connector, comprising:

• a first housing (11;
• 111) and a second housing (41;
• 131) connectable with each other along a connecting direction;
• at least one cam pin (15, 114) projecting from the first housing (11;
• 111);
• at least one lever (60;
• 133) displaceably supported on the second housing (41;
• 131) and including at least one cam groove (62;
• 138) engageable with the cam pin (15;
• 114);
• an operating member (70;
• 134) held on the second housing (41;
• 131) displaceable substantially in the connecting direction and in an opposite direction thereof;
• at least one coupling pin (63;
• 139) on the lever (60;
• 133);
• at least one coupling groove (74;
• 143) formed on the operating member (70;
• 134) and engageable with the coupling pin (63;
• 139) so that the coupling pin (63;
• 139) is guided to an end of the coupling groove (74;
• 143) by moving the operating member (70;
• 134) substantially in the connecting direction and thereby displacing the lever (60;
• 133) to move the first and second housings (11, 41;
• 111, 131) toward each other and into connection with each other;
• and
• a connection locking mechanism (66, 75;
• 142;
• 143, 146) having engageable parts formed on the lever (60;
• 133) and on the operating member (70;
• 134) and engageable with one another for holding the housings (11, 41;
• 111, 131) in a connection completed state (CCS).
