Claim 0:
1. A female connector, comprising:
a female terminal fitting to be connected to a male terminal fitting;
a female housing for accommodating the female terminal fitting; and
an operating member displaceable between a terminal deformation position where the female terminal fitting is deformed and a release position where the operating member is separated from the female terminal fitting,
wherein:
the female terminal fitting includes a resilient contact piece for resiliently contacting the male terminal fitting,
the operating member includes a holding projection disposed on an end part of the operating member and projecting rearward from the operating member,
the female housing is provided with a stopper, the stopper being opposed to the holding projection when the operating member is displaced to the terminal deformation position, and
the operating member resiliently deforms the resilient contact piece away from the male terminal fitting at the terminal deformation position.
