ABSTRACT:
A terminal fitting (10) has a sidewall (14) and a stabilizer (30) is provided at the sidewall (14) for interfering with the entrance of a cavity (42) when the terminal fitting (10) upside down. The terminal fitting (10) has a posture-holding portion (35) at a sidewall (15) facing the stabilizer (30). The posture holding portion (35) contacts the inner wall of the cavity (42) if the terminal fitting (10) is mounted in a wrong posture. Thus, the terminal fitting (10) will not incline in the cavity (42). Accordingly a sufficient amount of interference of the stabilizer (30) with the edge is ensured, and erroneous insertion of the terminal fitting (10) is prevented.
