Locking lever (5) for a connector, the connector (1) comprising a first, fixed plug part (2) and a second plug part (3) that can be connected to the first plug part by displacement in one connection direction (X), the locking lever comprising two end parts that can be pivotally fixed, along one axis (Y) that is essentially perpendicular to the connection direction, on two opposite surfaces (12) of the first plug part. Each of the end parts includes a cam track, the locking lever being able to pivot between a release position, in which one open end of each of the cam tracks can be positioned at a catch of the second plug part, and a locking position in which each of the catches can be positioned in a locking portion of the cam track, the end portion being capable of being elastically deformed to allow the catch to penetrate into the locking portion.
