ABSTRACT:
A connector has a housing (1) with a cavity (2) for receiving a terminal fitting (3). The terminal fitting (3) has a tubular main portion (6) and a locking hole (12) is formed in the main portion (6) for receiving locking projection (5B) of a lock (5). A tongue (14) extends from the front end of the main portion (6) and is folded back into the main portion (6). The front end of the locking projection (5B) is located before an extending end (14C) of the tongue (14) and the rear end thereof is located behind the extending end (14C) of the tongue (14). Accordingly, the locking projection (5B) is long at a position where a front end surface (5C) of the locking projection (5B) receives a shear force from a front edge (12A) of the locking hole (12), thereby enlarging a sectional area against the shear force.
