ABSTRACT:
A female housing (20) has cavities (21) for receiving female terminal fittings (10) and locks (27) for locking the female terminal fittings (10). Each lock (27) is deformed resiliently in the process of inserting the female terminal fitting (10), and is restored resiliently to lock the female terminal fitting (10) when the female terminal fitting (10) is inserted to a proper depth. A reinforcement (36) bulges out on a lower surface (31) of the lock (27) toward the deformation space (S) from a phantom line (L) connecting a front bending point (31b), which is a leading end position of the lock (27) with respect to a deforming direction when the lock (27) is deformed maximally, and a deformation supporting position (31c).
