ABSTRACT:
A terminal fitting (10) is formed to be mountable into a resin housing (30). A metal lock (11) is formed by cutting and bending in a bottom plate (14) of the terminal fitting (10) and is resiliently engageable with an engaging portion (34) in the housing (30) to lock the terminal fitting (10). This metal lock (11) has a base (11A) in the form of a flat plate. An extended portion (11B) is at the leading end of the base (11A) and bulges out in thickness or width direction, thereby increasing an area of engagement with the engaging portion (34) when the terminal fitting (10) is pulled in withdrawing direction. Accordingly, the terminal fitting (10) has a terminal holding force enhanced by the presence of the extended portion (11B).
