Abstract
An insulating base plate,of a housing,includes an upper plate portion,a lower plate portion,and reinforcing plate portions,are formed on and extend between the upper and lower plate portions,and,and are disposed respectively at those portions of the upper and lower plate portions corresponding respectively to positions where wires of a wire harness W are press-connected to respective terminals. With this construction, the weight of the housing can be reduced because of the provision of hollow portions,And besides, since the reinforcing plate portions,are formed at those portions of the insulating base plate corresponding respectively to the positions where the wires of the wire harness W are press-connected to the respective terminals, the press-connecting operation can be carried out in a stable manner without flexing the insulating base plate,Therefore, the press-connecting metal terminals,will not be displaced upward and downward, and each wire of the wire harness W is prevented from being disposed out of alignment with the associated press-connecting metal terminal
