A retaining lever is pivotally mounted on a female connector housing, and sliding grooves are formed respectively in opposite sides of the retaining lever. Guide projections, formed respectively on opposite sides of a male connector, are received in the sliding grooves, respectively, and then the retaining lever is pivotally moved to fit the two connectors together in a retained manner. Flanged projections are formed respectively on those portions of the opposite sides of the retaining lever through which a pivot axis passes. The flanged projection has a pillar-like support shaft portion, a flange formed at a distal end of the support shaft portion, and a protuberance. Receiving grooves for respectively receiving the support shaft portions are formed in the opposite sides of the housing, respectively, and engagement portions for respectively retaining the protuberances when the flanged projections are received respectively in the receiving grooves are provided respectively at the opposite sides of the housing along the respective receiving grooves.
