A lever-operative connector which can be downsized includes a frame and a lever rotatably coupled to the frame. The frame has a circumferential wall having one opening and the other opening at both ends. The frame has a notch formed in the circumferential wall and communicating with the one opening. When the lever is rotated toward the one opening side, a part of a lever side wall is exposed from an interior of the circumferential wall so as to compensate the notch of the circumferential wall, thereby forming, together with the frame, a hood having the housing-receiving width. When the lever is rotated toward the other opening side, the part of the lever side wall is received inside the circumferential wall so as to open the notch of the circumferential wall, thereby eliminating the housing-receiving width and the hood. |

1. A lever-operative connector, comprising:
a tube-shaped frame having a circumferential wall having one opening and a second opening at both ends; a lever rotatably coupled to the frame; one connector housing having a follower, which is engageable with a cam portion of the lever, and being capable of being received inside the frame via a housing-receiving width communicating with the one opening; and a second connector housing received inside the frame via the second opening, and being engageable with the one connector housing, wherein the lever is rotated from the one opening side toward the second opening side so as to guide the follower along the cam portion, thereby allowing the one connector housing to be received inside the frame, wherein the frame has a cut out portion formed in a part of the circumferential wall and communicating with the one opening, wherein when the lever is rotated toward the one opening side, each part of a lever side wall is exposed from the interior of the circumferential wall so as to entirely fill the cut out portion of the circumferential wall, thereby forming, together with the frame, a hood having the housing-receiving width, and wherein when the lever is rotated toward the second opening side, the part of each lever side wall is received inside the circumferential wall so as to open the cut out portion of the circumferential wall, thereby eliminating the housing-receiving width and the hood. |
