Abstract
Female terminal fittings ( ) are insertable from behind into cavities ( ) in a female housing ( ). A slanted guide surface ( ) is formed at the peripheral rear edge of each cavity ( ) for guiding the female terminal fitting ( ) into the cavity ( ) and is slanted at an obtuse angle to an inserting direction of the female terminal fitting ( ). A stabilizer-inserting groove ( ) is formed in a surface of the cavity ( ) and has an open rear end into which a stabilizer ( ) of the female terminal fitting ( ) is insertable. A preventing surface ( ) is provided at the peripheral rear edge of the cavity ( ) and abuts the stabilizer ( ) when the female terminal fitting ( ) is inserted in an improper posture. An angle of the preventing surface ( ) to the inserting direction is less than an angle of the slanted guide surface ( ).
