A terminal fitting and a connector provided therewith

摘要

To provide a terminal fitting and a connector which are suited to being made smaller. <??>In a female terminal fitting 30 to be inserted into a female housing 10 from behind, a rear end of an outer wall 37 extending along widthwise direction is embossed to project outward, thereby forming a locking projection 52 of a substantially pyramidal shape having a vertex at its front end. When the female terminal fitting 30 is inserted into the female housing 10, a locking portion 13 provided in the female housing 10 is engageable with the locking projection 52. The locking projection 52 is so formed as to be located more outward than an imaginary triangular pyramid X formed by connecting a vertex A at the front end, a pair of base end points B located at the rear edge, and an outward-projecting end point C. <IMAGE>
