An elastic contact piece 34 is provided on the upper surface 26a of the bottom wall 26 of the connector portion 20. One end portion of the elastic contact piece 34 is folded at a rear end 36 side position of the connector portion 20 and serves as a joint end portion 38, and the other end portion is located at a tab insertion port 40 side of the connector portion 20, and deformed in a mount-like shape, and serves as a free end portion 42. A fulcrum bead portion 46 which contacts the elastic contact piece 34 is provided at an upper surface 26a position of the bottom wall 26 confronting the lower surface portion of the elastic contact piece 34 between the free end portion 42 and the joint end portion 38. A window hole 50 for checking the contact state between the fulcrum bead portion 46 and the elastic contact piece 34 is formed in at least one side wall 30.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
