An object of the present invention is to reduce press-in resistance without reducing a force for retaining a tab-shaped terminal. Since a press-in hole 16 of a housing 10 is formed to be gradually wider from the front end toward the rear end, a large dimensional difference between the width of the press-in hole 16 and that of a press-in portion 21 of a tab-shaped terminal 20 is ensured at a front end portion of the press-in hole 16, so that the tab-shaped terminal 20 can be reliably retained in the housing 10. On the other hand, since the dimensional difference between the width of the press-in hole 16 and that of the press-in portion 21 is small at a rear end portion of the press-in hole 16, press-in resistance at an initial stage of a press-in process is reduced. |
