A lever 22 is pivotally supported on a male connector 21 by bosses 27, and provisionally-retaining abutment piece portions 38 are formed respectively at lower portions of side walls 28 of the lever 22 at a rear end portion thereof. Provisionally-retaining blocks 37 are formed at a lower portion of the male connector 21 at a rear end portion thereof, and the provisionally-retaining abutment piece portions 38 are abutted respectively against the provisionally-retaining blocks 37 in an initially-fitted condition. Cancellation plates 39 for canceling the abutting engagement of the provisionally-retaining abutment piece portions 38 with the provisionally-retaining blocks 37 are formed within a hood portion 32 of a female connector 23. With this construction, when the male connector 21 is to be fitted into the hood portion 32, engagement projections 30 can be easily inserted into guide grooves 34, respectively. Only the provisionally-retaining abutment piece portions 38 need to have resiliency, and therefore it is not necessary to increase the wall thickness of the lever 22, and also the pivotal movement of the lever 22 can be easily effected.
