Abstract
A connector has a housing () with a cavity () and a resiliently deformable lock () in the cavity (). The connector further has a terminal fitting () that can be inserted into the cavity (). The insertion of the terminal fitting () deforms the lock (). However, the lock () restores when the terminal fitting () is inserted completely, and locks the terminal fitting in the cavity (). The terminal fitting () and the cavity () are formed with mutually engageable structures () for preventing inclination of the terminal fitting () in the deforming direction of the lock ().
