Connector

Abstract

A connector has a housing (10) with cavities (11) for receiving terminal fittings (40). Locks (17) lock the terminal fittings (40) in the cavities (11) and serve also as partition walls (20) between cavities (11) for the miniaturization of the connector. Upside-down insertion preventing portions (46) are provided on the terminal fittings (40), but are disposed so as not to interfere with the corresponding lock (17). The upside-down insertion preventing portions (46) also do not interfere with the lock (17) of the adjacent cavity (11) even if both the upside-down insertion preventing portion (46) and the lock (17) are near the front end and are on opposite sides. Since the upside-down insertion preventing portions (46) and the locks (17) are near the front end, inserting resistance is low and an earlier detection of upside-down insertion is realized.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
