Description of the Related Art A general structure of a female terminal fitting includes a box-shaped main body having an open front surface and an elastic contact piece folded inward from a front end of a substrate forming one surface of the main body. The tab of the mating male terminal fitting is inserted from the opening of the main body while bending the elastic contact piece to elastically contact the elastic contact piece.

それがある。By the way, in such a female terminal fitting,
Foreign matter may enter from the opening of the main body portion and abut against the foreign matter, which may excessively deform the folded portion of the elastic contact piece. For example, when the female terminal fitting is pulled out from the connector for maintenance, etc., the lance locked to the female terminal fitting is bent by a jig such as a driver to release the locking. As a result, the folded portion of the elastic contact piece may be pierced and excessively deformed. Then, the elastic force of the elastic contact piece is impaired, and when the tab of the male terminal fitting is inserted again, a sufficient contact force may not be obtained.

れることから保護される。Therefore, conventionally, there is known one provided with a protection means for preventing the folded-back portion of the elastic contact piece from being bumped by foreign matter. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a protective piece 34 is provided so as to extend from a side edge on one side of the elastic contact piece 32 in the opening of the main body portion 31 that sandwiches the folded-back portion 33, and the protective piece 34 is provided. Is bent toward the other side edge of the opening and abuts on the side edge. That is, the protection piece 34 covers the front of the folded portion 33 of the elastic contact piece 32 and is protected from being pushed by a foreign matter such as the jig a.

る。However, the conventional one has a structure in which the elongated protection piece 34 is provided in a cantilever shape from one side edge of the opening, so that the protection piece 34 intersects the insertion direction of the tab. When it receives a force in the same direction, it is easily rocked and deformed in the same direction. For example, as shown in FIG.
After the jig a is inserted and hooked on the lance 35 in order to release the lock of, the tip of the jig a is accidentally tilted upward as shown by the solid arrow, and the protection piece 34 moves upward from the root portion. While being rocked and deformed, the folded portion 33 of the elastic contact piece 32 is excessively deformed so as to be lifted, and when the tab of the male terminal fitting is inserted again, the transformed protective piece 34 and folded portion 3 are formed.
There is a risk that 3 will interfere with smooth insertion.

変形するのをより確実に防止することを目的とする。As shown by the chain line in the figure, if the jig a is mistakenly inserted into the insertion space side of the tab and the tip of the jig a is tilted downward as indicated by the arrow in the chain line, the protection piece The elastic contact piece 32 is oscillated and deformed downward from the base portion 34.
The folded portion 33 is excessively deformed so as to be crushed. Therefore, the elastic force may be impaired, and a sufficient contact force may not be obtained when the tab is inserted again. The present invention was completed in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to more reliably prevent an elastic contact piece, particularly a folded portion thereof, from being excessively deformed.

Then, the female terminal fitting F is pulled out from the female housing. In that case, the jig a is inserted through the jig insertion opening opened on the front surface of the housing, and is hooked on the tip of the lance 25 to attach the lance 25. Bend downward against the elasticity.
As a result, the locking portion 26 of the lance 25 has the female terminal fitting F.
Since it is released from the locking hole 16 of the wire and the lock is released,
The female terminal fitting F is pulled out from the cavity by pulling 1.
