1. A connector with booster mechanism, comprising:
a housing;
an operation lever rotatably mounted on the housing, the operation lever including an arm portion radially extending from a rotation center shaft;
a drive gear integrally rotatably provided on the operation lever;
a speed-reduction member rotatably mounted on the housing; and
a slider,
wherein:
the drive gear is coaxial with the rotation center shaft and disposed at a position different from the arm portion in an axial direction of the rotation center shaft,
the speed-reduction member includes a large-diameter gear to be meshed with the drive gear and a small-diameter gear having a smaller diameter than the large-diameter gear and disposed coaxially with the large-diameter gear, and
the slider includes a cam groove and a rack to be meshed with the small-diameter gear and is mounted on the housing movably in a direction intersecting a connecting direction to a mating connector.
