Patent number: 7938699Abstract: A terminal fitting (10) is inserted into a housing (60) from behind and includes a tubular connecting portion (11), with which a mating terminal (90) is connectable from front. A bent piece (27) including both front and rear edges (28, 29) is formed at a position of a peripheral wall of the connecting portion (11) behind the front end of the connecting portion (11). The bent piece (27) is formed with a locking projection (32) to be retained and locked in the connector housing (60) by being bent toward an outer side over the entire length in forward and backward directions. The front end surface of the locking projection (32) is a curved surface receding toward the back.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2010Date of Patent: May 10, 2011Assignee: Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd.Inventor: Tomoki Okano
