A lever ( 40 ) formed with a cam groove ( 41 ) is rotatably mounted and a detecting terminal ( 60 ) is mounted in a female housing ( 10 ). The detecting terminal ( 60 ) contacts contact terminals ( 98 ) in the female housing ( 10 ) to close a detecting circuit only when the housings ( 10, 80 ) are connected properly. A pressing portion ( 44 ) projects from part of a cam plate ( 47 ) of the lever ( 40 ) facing the detecting terminal ( 60 ), and keeps pressing the detecting terminal ( 60 ) to deform the detecting terminal 60 to a position where the detecting terminal ( 60 ) is separated from the contact terminals ( 98 ) while the lever ( 40 ) is rotated until the housings ( 10, 80 ) are connected properly. The pressed state is canceled to enable the detecting terminal ( 60 ) to contact the contact terminals ( 98 ) when the lever 40 is rotated to a position where the housings ( 10, 80 ) are connected properly.
