Abstract:
A locking structure includes a terminal fitting and a terminal containing portion that holds and contains the terminal fitting so that the terminal fitting is electrically connected to a connection counterpart in a condition that at least part of the connection counterpart is inserted in the terminal containing portion. A first lock projection which is elastically deformable and is provided on the terminal fitting is locked on a second lock projection which is provided on the terminal containing portion. The at least part of the connection counterpart inserted in the terminal containing portion restricts elastic deformation of the first lock projection in a direction in which the first lock projection is unlocked from the second lock projection.
