ABSTRACT:
A locking projection (18) projecting from a cantilever-shaped locking lance (16) extending forward along an inner wall of a cavity (11) includes a first locking area (18a) and a second locking area (18b). The first locking area (18a) is arranged at a projecting end of the locking projection (18) and is engaged with a terminal fitting (30) in a state where the locking lance (16) is not resiliently deformed. The second locking area (18b) is arranged at a base end of the locking projection (18) and is not engaged with the terminal fitting (30) in the state where the locking lance (16) is not resiliently deformed, but engaged with the terminal fitting (30) by the resilient deformation of the locking lance toward the cavity.
