ABSTRACT:
A terminal fitting (T) has a tube (10) formed by at least one plate (12). A locking hole (19) is formed in the plate (12) and is engageable by a lock (52) of a connector housing (50). The plate (12) is deformed into the tube (10) adjacent the locking hole (19) to form a retaining portion (22) that enlarges an area of engagement with the lock (52) for holding the terminal fitting (T) more securely in the connector housing (50).
