A female terminal fitting (30) is provided for insertion into a female housing (10) from behind. A rear end of an outer wall (37) of the female terminal fitting (30) extending along widthwise direction is embossed to project out, thereby forming a locking projection (52) with a vertex (A) at its front end. The female terminal fitting (30) is inserted into the female housing (10) and a lock (13) in the female housing (10) engages the locking projection (52). The locking projection (52) is more outward than an imaginary triangular pyramid (X) formed by connecting the vertex (A) at the front end, a pair of base end points (B) at the rear edge, and an outward-projecting end point (C).
A terminal fitting (30) insertable into a connector housing (10), comprising a locking projection (52) formed into an enlarging shape having a vertex (A) at a front end by forming a rear end of an outer wall (37) extending along widthwise direction to project out, and engageable with a fastener (13) in the connector housing (10) when the terminal fitting (30) is inserted into the connector housing (10), wherein the locking projection (52) is formed to be located more outward than an imaginary triangular pyramid (X) formed by connecting the vertex (A) at the front end, a pair of base end points (B) at the rear end, and an outward-projecting end point (C).
