A method of detecting engagement/disengagement characteristics of a less-force required type mating connector, and apparatus therefor. In the less-force required type mating connector, a lever provided in a first connector is pivoted to engage or disengage a second connector with or from the first connector. The first connector is pivoted about a center of pivotal movement of the lever while the pivotal movement of the lever is prevented. A load required to prevent the pivotal movement of the lever is detected. Since the lever is unchanged in its position and angle, the load acting in one direction alone may be detected. Hence, the engagement/disengagement characteristics can be accurately detected.
