ABSTRACT:
A connector has a housing (10) with a cavity (11) and a lock (12) that projects into the cavity (11). A defining wall (14) defines a deformation space (16) on a side of the lock (12) opposite the cavity (11). The lock (12) deflects into the deformation space (16) as a terminal fitting (40) is inserted into the cavity (11). The lock (12) then is restored resiliently to hold the terminal fitting (12) in the cavity (11). A support (18A,18B,18C) extends from the defining wall (14) and towards a space (17) between the lock (12) and a sidewall of the cavity (11) for supporting the terminal fitting (40) in the cavity (11).
