Abstract
A connector is provided to prevent the deformation of base end portions of L-shaped lead terminals. The connector has a restricting projection 13 projects on the rear surface of the connector housing 10 so as to surround substantially the half of a base end portion 24U of each lead terminal 20U near a connector housing 10. Accordingly, even if an external bending force acts on the base end portions 24U, the deformation of the base end portion 24U is prevented by the restricting projection 13.
