by indicating correct or full engagement - H01R 13/62933: {Comprising exclusively pivoting lever} - H01R: ELECTRICALLY-CONDUCTIVE CONNECTIONS; STRUCTURAL ASSOCIATIONS OF A PLURALITY OF MUTUALLY-INSULATED ELECTRICAL CONNECTING ELEMENTS; COUPLING DEVICES; CURRENT COLLECTORS ## Abstract A lever type connector includes: a female housing having a box shape of which one portion is open; a male housing configured to be inserted into the female housing and provided with a plurality of male terminals; a lever configured to be rotatably coupled with an outer side of the male housing; and a movable plate configured to be mounted on a bottom surface of the male housing, have the bottom surface provided with a plurality of through holes through which the male terminals penetrate, and enclose the male terminal to protect the male terminals. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A lever type connector, comprising: a female housing of a box shape of which one portion is open; a male housing configured to be inserted into the female housing and provided with a plurality of male terminals; a lever configured to be rotatably coupled with an outer side of the male housing; and a movable plate configured to be mounted on a bottom surface of the male housing, have the bottom surface provided with a plurality of through holes through which the male terminals penetrate, and enclose the male terminals for protection thereof. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The lever type connector according to claim 1, wherein one side of an outer side of the movable plate is provided with an unlocking member which protrudes and has an inclined surface, a movable plate lock member protrudes and is spaced apart from an inner side wall of the female housing and is provided with an elastic material, and when the male housing and the movable plate mounted in the male housing are inserted into the female housing, the unlocking member lifts up the moving plate lock member of the female housing to release the lock, and the male housing and the movable plate are inserted thereinto. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The lever type connector according to claim 2, including a position fixing member protruding from the outer side of the male housing, a position support member is connected to the unlocking member to form grooves at upper and lower portions at a position adjacent to the unlocking member of the movable plate, wherein the fixing member of the male housing is inserted into the upper groove formed by the position support member to fix the position of the male housing, and when the male housing and the movable plate are inserted into the female housing, the position support member is deformed by the movable plate lock member of the female housing, the position fixing member moves to the lower groove, and the male housing is inserted. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The lever type connector according to claim 1, wherein a misassembly prevention protrusion member is formed at one side of the movable plate, extending along an insertion direction of the male housing and the misassembly prevention protrusion member penetrates a lock groove, a movable plate fixing member protrudes from one side of the outer side of the male housing to be inserted into the lock groove, and the male housing stops being separated in an opposite direction to the insertion direction from the movable plate. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The lever type connector according to claim 4, wherein a misassembly prevention member protrudes from the other side of an outer side of the male housing which is provided with the movable plate fixing member, and the misassembly prevention member collides with the misassembly prevention protrusion member upon a misassembly of the male housing with the movable plate to prevent the misassembly of the male housing with the movable plate. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The lever type connector according to claim 1, wherein the lever is provided with a male coupling hole to be rotatably coupled with the male housing, a rotating guide groove having a predetermined curvature is formed at one side of the lever, an inner side of the female housing is provided with a lever guide member protruding as a circular section, and the lever guide member is inserted into the rotating guide groove when the male housing is inserted into the female housing to guide movement of the lever. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The lever type connector according to claim 6, wherein one side of an end of the lever is provided with an unlocking part having a fork shape, a lever member is made of an elastic material and protruding at a position adjacent to the end of the lever of the male housing, and one side of the end of the lever is locked to the lever member to prevent the lever from rotating before the male housing is inserted into the female housing and the lever from reversely rotating. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The lever type connector according to claim 7, wherein the other side of the end of the lever is provided with a lock groove, a position adjacent to the end of the lever is provided with a protruding lever lock member when the lever of the inner side of the female housing rotates, and the lock groove of the lever is locked to the lever lock member when the lever rotates to guide a rotating degree of the lever.
