Lever-type connector, a lever-type connector assembly and a method of assembling a lever-type connector with a mating connector

摘要

A first connector (20) has a lever (70) that is rotatable in a rotation direction (RD) from an initial position to a connecting position. The lever (70) displays a cam action for urging the first connector (20) into connection with a second connector (10). The first connector (20) also has a detector (80) that is moveable in a moving direction (MD) from a standby position to a detecting position. The moving direction (MD) is aligned at an angle to the rotating direction (RD). The lever (70) and the detector (80) are configured so that the lever (70) interferes with the detector (80) and prevents the detector (80) from moving to the detecting position until the lever (70) is in the connecting position.
