A socket-type terminal has an annular groove which is formed in a step portion between a base portion of a terminal connecting portion and a neck portion. A distal end of a lance head of a retaining lance for preventing withdrawal of the terminal is so formed as to fit in the groove. With this construction, when the terminal is pulled in a longitudinal direction, the whole of the retaining lance is displaced in a direction of the axis of the terminal. Therefore, the terminal is firmly retained in a housing without damaging the retaining lance.
