1. A connector housing comprising:
a housing body configured to accommodate a connector terminal; and
a lever axially supported on the housing body so as to be rotatable around a rotation axis, the lever being configured to rotate around the rotation axis from a temporary lock position to a final lock position to finally lock a mating connector to the housing body by pulling the mating connector having been temporarily locked,
wherein the lever includes:
an operation portion with which a rotation operation is performed; and
an arm portion extending from the operation portion to cross the rotation axis and having a shaft-receiving hole formed at a position that crosses the rotation axis,
wherein the housing body includes:
an inner housing formed in a tubular shape that includes a terminal accommodation chamber configured to accommodate the connector terminal, a shaft projection configured to be fitted into the shaft-receiving hole of the arm portion projecting from an outer peripheral surface of the inner housing to cross an axis of the tubular shape and form the rotation axis, and
an outer housing attached to the inner housing such that the arm portion having the shaft projection being fitted into the shaft-receiving hole is sandwiched between the outer housing and at least a surface portion of the outer peripheral surface from which the shaft projection projects so that the arm portion is rotatable around the rotation axis.
