TERMINAL SUPPORT STRUCTURE

摘要

A terminal support structure in which, despite the fact that the wall thickness of a housing thereof is reduced to downsize the housing, the housing is not damaged when connecting terminals are inserted into terminal inserting holes. The terminal support structure supports the connecting terminals (30) inserted into the terminal inserting holes (21) provided in the housing (20) which is a molded resin product. Retaining projections (27) provided with press-in grooves (27a) formed parallel to the direction of insertion of the connecting terminals (30) are provided to the opening edges of the terminal inserting holes (21), and each connecting terminal (30) is provided with a press-in section (37) integrally formed with a side portion of the connecting terminal (30). The upper and lower ends of each press-fit section (37) are engaged with the opposed upper and lower surfaces of a corresponding press-in groove (27a), so that the connecting terminals are prevented from coming out of position.
