Connector

摘要

A connector has a housing (20; 50) with cavities (23) for receiving terminal fittings (10; 60). At least a portion of each cavity (23) is rectangular and is dimensioned to receive a rectangular tube portion (11) of the terminal fitting (10; 60). At least one corner of the rectangular tube (11) defines an engaging recess (17; 61). At least one L-shaped lock (29; 51) is cantilevered forward adjacent each cavity (23) and is resiliently deflectable diagonally away from the rectangular portion of the respective cavity (23) in response to insertion of the terminal fitting (10; 60) into the respective cavity (23). The lock (29; 51) returns resiliently after proper insertion of the terminal fitting (10; 60) to engage the recess (17; 61).
