Abstract:
    An object of the present invention is to extend functional parts while improving a degree of freedom in design. A stabilizer (17) is formed by embossing a part of the inner wall of a side surface portion (6B) of a main portion (6) of a terminal fitting (3) to project outward, whereas a guiding recess (18) extending in forward and backward directions is formed in an inner wall of a cavity (2) to face the stabilizer (17). Further, inside the main portion (6), a resiliently deformable tongue piece (14) is arranged by being folded back at the front edge of a bottom surface portion (6A) and preventing pieces (14B) bulge out sideways from the opposite widthwise edges of the tongue piece (14). One of the preventing pieces (14B) is engageable with an opening edge (first preventing portion 16A) made in the inner wall of the side surface portion (6B) embossed upon forming the stabilizer (17). Accordingly, it is not necessary to separately provide the stabilizer (17) and the first preventing portion (16A), which contributes to the miniaturization of the terminal fitting and increases locations where other functional parts can be formed, thereby increasing a degree of freedom in design.
