ABSTRACT:
A stabilizer (30) is divided into a front stabilizer (31A) and a rear stabilizer (31B) with a small clearance therebetween. The front and rear stabilizers (31A,31B) are formed from a left side plate (25) and a bottom plate (25) of a main portion (21) by cutting and bending while leaving holes (32A,32B). The side hole (32A) is relatively larger and exposes a free end (40A) of a resilient contact (40) to the outside. Thus, a rear inner plate (36) is arranged at an inner side of the side hole (32A) to close the side hole (32A). The plastic deformation of a side of the resilient contact (40) towards the free end (40A) is prevented by preventing the intrusion of a tab (51) of a male terminal fitting (50) or other external matters through the side hole (32A).
