An electrical connector

摘要

A female housing 10 is provided with cavities 11 into which female terminal fittings 30 are insertable, locking portions 13 which are restored to lock the female terminal fittings 30 after being temporarily resiliently deformed by the female terminal fittings 30 being inserted into the cavities 11, and lowered portions 12a of a bottom wall 12 which are provided to face the locking portions 12 with deformation permitting spaces for the locking portions 13 located therebetween and can prevent the locking portions 13 from being excessively resiliently deformed by being engaged with the locking portions 13. An arcuate surface 13c having a pointed portion 13d at its widthwise center is formed on the bottom surface of each locking portion 13. An arcuate surface 12b having a shape substantially conforming to the arcuate surface 13c of the locking portion 13 is formed by recessing each lowered portion 12a of the bottom wall 12 to escape the locking portion 13 when the locking portion 13 is resiliently deformed as the female terminal fitting 30 is inserted and withdrawn. <IMAGE>
