Abstract:
A connector, comprising:a housing formed with at least one cavity into which at least one terminal fitting is insertable in an inserting direction; a lock cantilevered substantially in the inserting direction along an inner wall of the cavity and being resiliently deformable in a deformation direction to exit an insertion path for the terminal fitting, a fastening portion at an end of the lock for engaging and locking the terminal fitting from a withdrawing side; at least one jig contact portion in proximity to the fastening portion of the lock for sliding contact with a withdrawing jig inserted into the housing from a jig inserting direction so that the withdrawing jig deforms the lock in the deformation direction to be disengaged from the terminal fitting, the jig contact portion projecting from the fastening portion in a direction transverse to the deforming direction; and a distal end of the jig contact portion being spaced from a distal end of the fastening portion along the jig insertion direction.
