Abstract
It is aimed to reduce connection resistance between a female housing and a male housing without causing the settling of a resilient contact piece of a female terminal fitting. A female connector (F) includes a female housing () configured to accommodate female terminal fittings () and to be connected to a male housing (), and a movable portion () displaceable between a terminal deforming position where resilient contact pieces () are resiliently deformed away from male terminal fittings () and a releasing position where the movable portion is disengaged from the resilient contact pieces (). As the connection of the female housing () and the male housing () proceeds, a retainer-side slide-contact portion () slides in contact with male-side slide-contact portions () and the movable portion () is displaced from the releasing position to the terminal deforming position.
