  In recent years, miniaturization of connectors has been desired. However, when the above-described conventional connector is miniaturized, particularly when it is reduced in height, it is necessary to reduce the thickness of the lance and engage the lance with the locked portion. It is conceivable to reduce the space for bending in the vertical direction.

  However, if the thickness of the lance is reduced, there is a problem that the lance is easily bent, the engagement state with the terminal fitting is weakened, and the terminal fitting is easily removed. In addition, there is a problem that the engagement force with the terminal fitting is weakened in that the amount of change in the lance deflection is reduced. Furthermore, in the case of a connector structure in which the terminal fitting is fixed to the housing by a lance, the terminal fitting is generally inserted into the cavity by a fitting mounting device. ) Is known to occur. The displacement of the contact position of the terminal fitting in the housing due to this displacement does not cause a problem if the connector has a wide contact range, but the contact range becomes relatively narrow in a connector that is further miniaturized. Therefore, it is difficult to reduce the size of the connector itself with a structure using a lance.

  This invention is made | formed in view of this point, and it aims at providing the connector which can aim at size reduction easily, hold | maintaining the terminal metal fitting connected to another connector terminal reliably.
