Original Abstract Submitted

A connector includes a female terminal fitting to be inserted into a terminal accommodation chamber from behind a housing body, and a terminal holding member to be attached to cover a front surface of the housing body and configured to hold the female terminal fitting in the terminal accommodation chamber to prevent any further forward movement. The housing body is formed with a locking lance to be resiliently deformed due to interference with the female terminal fitting in an insertion process of the female terminal fitting and configured to retain the female terminal fitting inserted into the terminal accommodation chamber. The terminal holding member is formed with a jig insertion hole into which a jig is inserted, a tab insertion hole into which a tab of a male terminal fitting is inserted and a guiding surface for guiding the tab into the tab insertion hole.
