Patent ID: 6981900

Claim:
A connector, comprising: at least one terminal fitting, a housing with at least one cavity for accommodating the terminal fitting, and a guiding groove at a corner of an inner wall of the cavity and extending substantially along an inserting direction of the terminal fitting wherein: a side surface of the terminal fitting has a stabilizer for engaging the guiding groove and guiding the terminal fitting into the cavity when the terminal fitting is oriented properly and for interfering with an opening edge of the cavity at a side diagonal to the guiding groove to prevent insertion of the terminal fitting into the cavity when the terminal fitting is oriented improperly, and a posture holding portion is formed at a side surface of the terminal fitting other than the side surface intersecting a base end of the stabilizer, the posture holding portion bulging out toward the inner wall of the cavity at a position at or before the stabilizer with respect to the inserting direction of the terminal fitting, the posture holding portion contacting the inner wall of the cavity when the terminal fitting is oriented improperly thereby preventing the terminal fitting from falling into the guiding groove and inclining.
