ABSTRACT:
A terminal fitting (30) has a connecting portion (31) and a stabilizer (41) projects from an outer surface of the connecting portion (31). The stabilizer (41) is received in an insertion groove (18) in an inner wall of a cavity (12) for guiding the terminal fitting (30) into the cavity (12). A lock (11) is provided at the inner wall of the cavity (12) and has a locking section (27) engageable with an engaging surface (40A) of a protrusion (40) and a front edge (39A) of a locking hole (39) provided in the connecting portion (31). An escaping recess (28) is formed in a part of the lock (11) behind the locking section (27) and overlaps the locking section (27) with respect to a width direction. The escaping groove (28) communicates with the insertion groove (18) and receives the stabilizer (41).
