A connector and an assembling method therefor

摘要

An object of the present invention is to enable a reduction in inserting forces for terminal fittings and an adjustment of the alignment of the terminal fittings. A base wall 21 of a connector housing 20 is formed with through holes 25, into which terminal fittings 60 are insertable. The inner surface of each through hole 25 includes an inclined portion 26 narrowed toward the rear side from the front surface of the base wall 21 and arranged at a position corresponding to projecting portions 71 for guiding the terminal fitting 60, a straight portion 28 located behind the inclined portion 26, extending in an inserting direction toward the rear surface of the base wall 21 and having a press-in area for press-in portions 67, and restricting portions 27 defining steps together with the straight portion 28, extending from a taper end of the inclined portion 26 to the steps 35 and tightly holding rear parts of the projecting portions 71 while preventing loose movements thereof.
