Original Abstract Submitted
It is aimed to achieve a height reduction. A connector (F) is provided with a female terminal fitting () and a housing (). The female terminal fitting () includes a tab inserting portion (), into which a tab () of a male terminal fitting () is inserted, and a first resilient contact piece () exposed on an outer surface of the tab inserting portion () and configured to resiliently contact the tab (). The housing () includes a terminal accommodation chamber () for accommodating the tab inserting portion (). A deflection allowance space () for allowing a resilient displacement of the resilient contact piece () is formed within a thickness range of an upper wall portion () defining the terminal accommodation chamber (), out of the housing ().
