A grip member with an electric heater, in which the surface of a core body when a heater is installed is flat. A metal conductive plate, such as a SUS plate with a thickness of about 30 &#x3bc;m formed in a belt-like shape, is spirally embedded along a flat groove section provided in a core body, the surface of the core body is made flat, and the metal conductive plate is fixed at both ends to the core body. An electric current is passed through the metal conductive plate to cause it to generate heat.

An electrical connector that is reduced in size by appropriately combining connection terminals and a connector housing. Terminal insertion openings () for terminal accommodating holes () are formed in the rear face of the connector housing (). The terminal insertion openings () each have an elliptic cross-section, and the ellipses are arranged so as to be aligned in a specific direction. Oblong sections of connection sections, having a narrow width, of the connection terminals are inserted into the terminal accommodating holes (), along the terminal insertion openings (). The connection terminals are engaged with elastic case lances and connection sections provided in the terminal receiving holes and are fixed in position.

Electrical connector

A connection member of simple structure having a high reliability and capable of performing electric cable branching is provided. Connection portions of a plurality of electric cable terminals having an electric cable are respectively inserted into an electric cable terminal insertion hole of a holding body. Cylindrical contact points of the connection portions are aligned in a pin terminal insertion hole and a pin terminal is inserted into the pin terminal insertion hole. The pin terminal is successively inserted into the cylindrical contact points of the electric cable terminals arranged in parallel in the pin terminal insertion hole so that the pin terminal is electrically connected to the plurality of connection portions and the connection portions are short-circuited with one another.

A rear holder is inserted into a housing from a rear end surface at a provisional locking position in which the rear holder is inserted into the housing halfway and an insertion of connecting terminals is allowed, as well as at a sufficiently inserted complete locking position at which the inserted connecting terminals are locked. Within the housing , there are formed two rows of terminal accommodating holes each accommodating respective connecting terminals. The rear holder is formed in a substantially plate-like shape and includes a main body which is inserted into slits of the housing and locking arms which are inserted into respective terminal accommodating holes . A width of a locking arm is slightly smaller than that of a terminal accommodating hole . Windows are formed in the outer wall of the housing such that the terminal accommodating holes are communicated with external through the windows . Through these windows , locking condition between the connecting terminals and the locking arms can be released and an electrical conduction test of the connecting terminals can be performed.
