Abstract
Auxiliary connectors ( ) of a female connector ( ) are formed for a plurality of types of female terminal fittings ( ). When a plurality of auxiliary connectors ( ) of the same type are mounted into a frame ( ), the number of the terminal fittings to be inserted into the individual auxiliary connector ( ) is decided based on connection loads per terminal fitting to ensure that an operation load of the auxiliary connector ( ) does not exceed an upper-limit value, and the same number of terminal chambers ( ) as the decided number of the terminal fittings are formed in the auxiliary connector ( ). Thus, regardless of the specifications of the female terminal fittings ( ), the female terminal fittings ( ) can be mounted into all the terminal chambers without exceeding the upper-limit value of the operation load of the auxiliary connectors ( ).
