摘要

A terminal fitting (30) has a rectangular tubular main body (31) with a ceiling wall (33), first and second sidewalls (34, 35) extending down from the opposite sides of the ceiling wall (33), a bottom wall (36) projecting from the first sidewall (34) to face the ceiling wall (33), and an outer wall (37) projecting from the second side wall (35) and placed on the outer side of the bottom wall (36). A front-portion holding piece (50) projects from a front portion (37a) of the outer wall (37) and engages a front-portion holding groove (51) in the first sidewall (34). A restrictable projection (70) is provided at the rear end of the front-portion holding piece (50), and engages a restricting groove (71) of the front-portion holding groove (51) for restricting an opening deformation of the outer wall (37).
