Abstract
A connector includes a plurality of terminals and a connector housing, receiving the terminals. Each of the terminals includes a terminal connecting portion, having a tubular shape, and receiving a mating terminal, a wire press-contacting portion including a press-contacting blade for press-contacting a wire, and the press-contacting blade having a blade width larger than a width of the terminal connecting portion, and an interconnecting portion, connecting the terminal connection portion and a wire press-contacting portion. A press-contacting direction in which the wire is press-contacted with the wire press-contacting portion is parallel to a terminal fitting direction of the terminal connecting portion. The terminal connecting portions of the terminals are received in the connector housing in parallel so that the press-contacting blades are arranged in a staggered manner. Also, a connector includes a housing and a terminal received in the housing. The terminal includes a wire connecting portion which connects a wire and an extension portion which is extended from the wire connecting portion. The extension portion has a conductive portion which is formed in a direction intersecting a direction in which the terminal is inserted into the housing. The housing has an exposure hole through which at least part of the conductive portion is exposed to an exterior.
