PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To electrically detect whether or not both connector housings have been properly fitted to each other in a lever-type connector. SOLUTION: A lever 40 having a cam groove 41 is rotatably mounted and a detecting terminal 60 is mounted in a female connector housing 10. The detecting terminal 60 comes into contact with contact terminals 98 assembled in the female connector housing 10 to close a detecting circuit only when both the connector housings 10, 80 are properly connected. A pressing portion 44 is formed to project in a part of a cam plate 47 of the lever 40 facing the detecting terminal 60, and the pressing portion 44 keeps a pressing state where the detecting terminal 60 is flexurally displaced to a position where it is separated from the contact terminals 98 while the lever is rotated until both the connector housings 10, 80 are properly connected. When the lever 40 is rotated up to a position where both the connector housings 10, 80 are properly connected, the pressed state is canceled to restore the detecting terminal 60 to be able to come into contact with the contact terminals 98.
