The invention relates to a connectorcomprising contact pinsandA having a contact part on a tip end thereof and a wire connection part on a rear end thereof, and a connector housinghaving a receiving holefor receiving therein the contact pinsandA and wires W. The connectoralso includes a bridge type connection memberincluding a connection bladewhich includes first and second contact partsandconnected to each other via a junction piece. The bridge type connection memberis pushed into the receiving holewith the contact pinsandA and the wires W being received in the receiving holethereby connecting the connection parts of the contact pinsandA to core wires of the wires via the first and second contact partsand. This can provide a connector for easily connecting wires having various sizes and various types of contact pins without using a special tool.

Connector

An electrical connector includes a housing molded of dielectric material and having a recess defined by opposed side walls having inner surfaces. A plurality of terminals are mounted on the housing and include contact sections along at least one of the opposed side walls and exposed at the inner surface thereof. The terminals have distal ends at an end of the recess. At least some of the terminals have spacer tabs projecting laterally from edges of the contact sections of the terminals to maintain at least a minimum spacing between the distal ends of the terminals prior to molding the dielectric housing.

Terminal positioning system

An electrical connector includes a dielectric housing having a recess defined by opposed side walls having inner surfaces. A plurality of terminals are mounted on the housing and include retention sections spaced along at least one of the opposed side walls and exposed inwardly thereof. A plurality of ribs project inwardly from the one side wall between the spaced retention sections of the terminals. The ribs each have at least one side edge overlapping a side edge of a respective one of the terminal retention sections to capture the sections in the side wall of the housing.
