<p>A detecting protrusion 42 of an electrical terminal is formed by cutting out a posterior portion of an opposing face 39 of main body 31, this detecting protrusion 42 protruding upwards. If a terminal fitting 30 to be inserted into a cavity 11 is only half-inserted, when a retainer 20 is pressed towards a main stopping position, a lower face 24 of a stopping member 21 strikes against an upper face 44 of the detecting protrusion 42, thereby preventing the retainer 20 from being pressed in. As a result, the half-insertion of the terminal fitting 30 can be detected. The retainer 20 is in a more shallowly inserted state compared to the case where movement of the retainer 20 is prevented by the lower face 24 of the stopping protrusion 21 striking against the opposing face 39, the amount of protrusion of the retainer 20 being determined by the height of the detecting protrusion 42. <IMAGE></p> |
