A socket for inserting the terminal is formed in the housing, and the socket has an axially opposite mating port and a mounting port. The terminal is inserted into the socket of the housing from the mounting port of the socket. The mating terminal that matches the terminal is inserted from the mating port of the socket and matches with the terminal. The terminal generally has a locking spring sheet that abuts against the locking step in the socket to lock the terminal in the socket of the housing.
