Joint connector terminal fitting and connector housing

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to prevent over-deflection of a tongue. For a terminal fitting (30) which protrudes a tongue (32) from between U-shaped side-walls (31a and 31b), preventing the deflection of tongue (32) from being deflected up to a lower side-wall (31a) at insertion in a reverse direction with one side-wall (31b) being made higher than the other side-wall (31a), while for a connector housing (10) making the terminal fitting (30) unable to run into a side of a plate housing area (12) via an opening (13) by forming a protruded bar (13a) to which only lower side-wall (31a) runs against the edge of the opening (13) which connects a terminal housing area (11) and plate housing area (12). It is made possible for higher side-wall (31b) to run into the opening (13). Therefore, the terminal fitting (30) can be inserted without any problems in a normal direction, while for insertion in a reverse direction higher side-wall (31b) protects the tongue (32) from over-deflecting. <IMAGE>
