TERMINAL FITTING AND CONNECTOR PROVIDED THEREWITH

摘要

A rectangular tube (10) of a terminal fitting (T) includes a lid plate (16) extending substantially at a right angle from the extending end of a right side plate (15) and formed with a locking hole (20) extending over the entire width. A front plate (19F) is cantilevered from the right side plate (15) and arranged before the locking hole (20). A rear plate (19R) is cantilevered from the right side plate independently of the front plate (19F) and is behind and adjacent to the locking hole (20). A retracted portion (21) is formed over the entire width at the rear plate (19R), retracted inwardly of the rectangular tube (10) from the front plate (19F) to provide a height difference within the range of an engagement margin with a locking projection (34) and capable of facing a rear end of the locking projection (34).
