1. A connector, comprising:
a connector body;
a lever supported on the connector body, the lever promoting connection of the connector body and a mating housing; and
a detecting member supported in the lever, the detecting member being movable to a detection position when the connector body and the mating housing are properly connected,
wherein:
the lever is rotatable along an outer surface of the connector body,
the detecting member is movable to the detection position along the outer surface of the connector body,
the connector body includes, on an outer surface side, a movement restricting portion arcuately extending in a rotating direction of the lever, the movement restricting portion being capable of abutting on a surface of the detecting member on a detection position side before the connector body and the mating housing are properly connected,
the connector body includes, on the outer surface side, a pressing portion capable of abutting on a surface of the detecting member opposite to a surface of the detecting member facing the outer surface of the connector body, and
the pressing portion is orthogonal to the movement restricting portion.
