An object of the present invention is not to reduce a holding force for preventing a terminal fitting from coming out backward while miniaturizing the terminal fitting. The front end of a locking projection (5B) of a locking portion (5) is located before an extending end portion (14C) of a tongue piece (14) of a terminal fitting (3) and the rear end thereof is located behind the extending end portion (14C) of the tongue piece (14) with the locking projection (5B) inserted in a main portion (6) of the terminal fitting (3) through a locking hole (12) formed in a bottom surface portion (6A) of the main portion (6). An extending end portion (14C) of the tongue piece (14) is distanced inward from the locking projection (5B). Accordingly, it is possible to set a maximally long dimension in forward and backward directions for the locking projection (5B) at a height 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) and, hence, to enlarge a sectional area against the shear force. Therefore, a holding force for preventing the terminal fitting (3) from coming out backward can be enhanced while the terminal fitting (3) is miniaturized.
