1. A combination of a connection terminal and a connector housing which receives the connection terminal, the combination comprising: a terminal fitting part that fits with a leading end portion of a mating connection terminal; a square tubular part that continues to a rear end of the terminal fitting part; and a lance engagement surface that is formed on the square tubular part and that, when the connection terminal is inserted into a terminal accommodation hole of the connector housing, is contacted to a projected part of a lance provided in the terminal accommodation hole to prevent the connection terminal from disengaging from the terminal accommodation hole, wherein the lance engagement surface is a hook-shaped engagement surface that is formed by an opening across a top wall of the square tubular part facing the lance and a sidewall part continuing to a side edge of the top wall and that comprises a first engagement surface which is an edge part of the opening of the top wall and a second engagement surface which is an edge part of the opening of the sidewall part and extends in a direction substantially orthogonal to the top wall from an end of the first engagement surface, and the first engagement surface and the second engagement surface are contacted to the projected part when the connection terminal is inserted in the terminal accommodation hole.
