a lever for promoting connection of the housing and a mating housing; and
a detecting member movable to a detection position with respect to the lever when the housing and the mating housing are properly connected,
wherein:
the cover has a back wall facing the rear surface of the housing and a pair of facing walls projecting from the back wall and to be held on the housing,
the cover is configured to be held on the housing and includes
a back wall having an inner surface facing the rear surface of the housing and
a pair of facing walls projecting from the back wall,
the lever is arranged rotatably along an outer surface of either one of the pair of facing walls,
the pair of facing walls include, on outer surface sides, movement restricting portions arcuately extending in a rotating direction of the lever and capable of abutting on a surface of the detecting member on the detection position side before the housing and the mating housing are properly connected, and
the respective movement restricting portions on the outer surface sides of the pair of facing walls are point-symmetrically shaped with respect to a center position of the cover when the cover is viewed from behind.
