Abstract
A press-contact connectorhas a first memberwhich accommodates a plurality of terminalshaving press-contact bladesand a second memberwhich is attached to the first memberand holds a plurality of wiresin an aligned state. The second memberhas a plurality of retaining portionscapable of retaining the wiresrespectively, formed in an approximate U shape and arranged in parallel to one another. The retaining portionhas claw portionswhich are provided at inner wallsto lock the wirein such a way as to contact with a bottom portionof the retaining portion, and lanceswhich are provided at serial directional ends of each retaining portionto urge the wirein the direction of the opening of the retaining portionin a cross section. Since each wireis held bent by the cooperation of the claw portionswith the lances, compatibility with automation is possible and the wirescan be held sufficiently.
