Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A female connector (F) is formed such that a block-shaped terminal accommodating portion ( 21 ) accommodating female terminal fittings ( 24 ) is surrounded by a substantially rectangular tubular fitting ( 35 ). A male connector (M) includes a rectangular tubular receptacle ( 11 ) to be fit into a clearance between the terminal accommodating portion ( 21 ) and the tubular fitting ( 35 ) and tabs ( 13 ) at the leading ends of male terminal fittings ( 12 ) are surrounded by the receptacle ( 11 ). Bulges ( 51, 52 and 53 ) are formed on four wall portions ( 37, 38 and 39 ) of the tubular fitting 35 and bulge outward of the tubular fitting ( 35 ) from an opening edge part at a front side of the tubular fitting ( 35 ).
