摘要

A male terminal fitting (10) provided with a tab (11) is insertable into an auxiliary housing (20) from behind. A protection cap (30) capable of protecting the tab (11) by surrounding it is mounted on the auxiliary housing (20), thereby constructing a cap-fitted auxiliary connector (SC). The protection cap (30) is provided with front-stops (36) for holding the male terminal fitting (10) at its proper insertion position so as not move any further forward by being engaged with the male terminal fitting (10) inserted into the auxiliary housing (20).
