A housing ( 10 ) is formed with an excessive deformation preventing portion ( 29 ) for preventing an excessive deformation of a locking portion ( 17 ) beyond its resiliency limit by being brought into contact with a part of the locking portion ( 17 ) behind a free end ( 17 F) when the locking portion ( 17 ) is resiliently deformed toward a deformation space ( 23 ). Since the excessive deformation preventing portion ( 29 ) of the present invention to be brought into contact with the part of the locking portion ( 17 ) behind the free end ( 17 F) is located at a position closer to the locking portion ( 17 ) as compared to the one to be brought into contact with a free end of a locking portion, a connector A can be miniaturized along a deformation direction of the locking portion (vertical direction).
