Abstract:
A connector with a housing with at least one cavity in which at least one terminal fitting is insertable along an inserting direction, a stabilizer projecting transversely from the terminal fitting, a slanted guide surface being formed at a peripheral edge of an inserting end of the cavity and being slanted at an angle to the inserting direction of the terminal fitting for guiding the terminal fitting into the cavity, a stabilizer-inserting groove formed in an inner surface of the cavity and being open at the inserting end of the cavity, the stabilizer-inserting groove being dimensioned and disposed for receiving the stabilizer of the terminal fitting when the terminal fitting is in a proper rotational orientation, and a preventing surface at the peripheral edge of the inserting end of the cavity and aligned at an angle to the inserting direction that is less than the angle of the slanted guide surface to the inserting direction, the preventing surface being dimensioned and disposed to abut the stabilizer when the terminal fitting is inserted in an improper posture.
