Abstract

A lever type connector includes a housing capable of accommodating a terminal in an outlet; and levers connected onto both sides of the housing, respectively so as to pivot in a detachable direction of the terminal. In the housing, fixation protrusions, connected with the levers, are formed on both sides of the housing, respectively, and the respective fixation protrusions have different shapes.

Claims (13)

1. A lever type connector comprising:

a housing capable of accommodating a terminal; and

levers connected onto both sides of the housing, respectively so as to pivot in a detachment direction of the terminal,

wherein the housing includes: fixation protrusions connected with the levers and formed on both sides of the housing, respectively, in which the respective fixation protrusions have different shapes; a hook that suspends and fixes the lever; and a mealing prevention jaw regulating movement of the lever and preventing the lever from further suspending, and

wherein the lever includes a mealing prevention protrusion corresponding to the mealing prevention jaw.

2. The lever type connector according to claim 1 , wherein the lever has a substantially ‘U’ shape,

wherein the lever includes fixation holes, into which the fixation protrusions are inserted, formed at both ends of the lever, respectively, and

wherein the respective fixation holes have different shapes.

3. The lever type connector according to claim 1 , wherein the housing further includes an over-rotation prevention rib that regulates a rotational angle of the lever protrudes, and

wherein the lever further includes a suspension surface suspended on the over-rotation prevention rib.

4. The lever type connector according to claim 1 , wherein the hook is formed at a location where locking with the lever does not occur when the housing and a male connector are joined to each other, and

wherein the hook is suspended on the lever when the lever is inclined at −5°.

5. The lever type connector according to claim 4 , wherein a connector gap minimization gradient structure is formed in the housing so that a gap is minimized when the housing and the male connector are joined to each other.
