Abstract
A male terminal fitting () has a rectangular tube (). A locking edge () engageable with a locking portion provided in a cavity is formed over the entire width in an outer surface of a rectangular tube (). No opening is formed in the outer surface of the rectangular tube portion () by forming this locking edge (). Closing pieces () are provided at positions slightly retracted inwardly of the locking edge (). Thus, problems such as the intrusion of external matter from the outside and the deformation of a leading end portion of another male terminal fitting () due to the entrance into the rectangular tube () can be avoided.
