ABSTRACT:
A male housing (20) has cavities (23) into which male terminal fittings (10) are insertable and locks (24) for locking the male terminal fittings (10) in the cavities (23). Each lock (24) is deformed temporarily resiliently during insertion of the male terminal fitting (10), and is restored resiliently to lock the male terminal fitting (10) when the male terminal fitting (10) reaches a proper depth. Lowered parts (35) of bottom walls (34) of the cavities (23) facing the locks (24) with deformation spaces (S) therebetween are provided at their portions coupled to the locks (24) with bulges (49) bulging toward the locks (24). Each bulge (49) is inclined such that a bulging distance thereof gradually increases toward the corresponding lock (24).
