Abstract
A housing ( ) has a terminal accommodation part ( ) for accommodating a terminal ( ) and a circular arc wall ( ) constituting an insertion opening ( ) into which a socket ( ) can be inserted. Slits ( ) are formed on an upper end of the circular arc wall ( ) to form elastic pieces ( ). A protrusion ( ) projects inwardly on each elastic piece ( ) and is disposed to cover an upper portion of each contact piece ( ) of the terminal ( ). A guide surface ( ) inclines inward on each protrusion ( ). The lower end of the socket ( ) slides on the guide surface ( ) so that the socket ( ) becomes almost coaxial with the insertion opening ( ).
