Abstract
In a resin-sealed connector, a body portion of a guide plate, provided within a housing, is partially smaller in thickness than a base portion of the guide plate, so that reinforcing ribs are formed on side surfaces of the body portion, and that a step portion is formed at the boundary between the body portion and the base portion, and the step portion serves as a mark indicative of an upper limit of filling of a sealing resin in the housing. The side surfaces of the body portion of the guide plate, including the reinforcing ribs, are discontinuous relative to side surfaces of the base portion over an entire periphery of the guide plate. The step portion, formed at the boundary between the body portion and the base portion and between the reinforcing ribs and the base portion, serves as the mark indicative of the upper limit of filling of the sealing resin.
