1. A fitting structure of a lever connector for attaching equipment to a housing comprising:

  • a first connector housed in said housing;

    a second connector directly attached to said equipment and fitted to said first connector when said equipment is attached to said housing;

    a lever supported by said first connector so that the lever can be rotated to pull said second connector on the side of said first connector and fit both connectors completely; and

    a flexible member initially engaged with the end of said lever and formed in said housing to allow said lever to rotate upon the displacement of said first connector in an equipment attachment direction, wherein;

    said lever connector is constituted so that said first and second connectors are completely fitted to each other before the attachment of said equipment to said housing is completed; and

    when said first and second connectors are completely fitted and said lever is displaced in said housing in the equipment attachment direction in a state that the rotation of said lever is disabled, said flexible member is bent by said lever so as to disengage said lever from said flexible member.
