Patent attributes
A male terminal fitting (20A) is inserted into a cavity (11) in a housing (10) from the rear, and has a tab (26A) that passes through an open portion (16) of a front wall (14) of the cavity (11). A proximal portion (27A) of the tab (26A) is sandwiched in a thickness direction between an inner surface of the open portion (16) and a front closure (30) mounted on the open portion (16). The thickness of the proximal portion (27A) of the tab (26A) of the terminal fitting (20A) is less than that of a connection portion (28A) of the tab (26A). Therefore the connection portion (28A) of the tab (26A) can have a thickness different from a predetermined thickness, provided that the proximal portion (27A) of the tab (26A) has the predetermined thickness.
