<p>An object of the present invention is to prevent the formation of cracks between press-in portions for terminal fittings.
An intermediate wall 23 serving as the back surface of a fitting recess 21 A for a mating connector is formed with alignments of press-in holes 28, through which tabs 12 of a joint terminal 10 are pressed. Bored-portion forming regions 32M are set above and below alignment regions for the press-in holes 28. In the regions 32M, continuous material portions 35, through which a synthetic resin material forming a housing 20 is continuous, are provided at positions above and below intermediate positions between the press-in holes 28 adjacent in an alignment direction without providing any bored portion. When the tabs 12 are pressed into the press-in holes 28, compression forces x act on the resin material between the left and right press-in holes 28 from left and right sides. However, since the continuous material portions 35 are provided above and below the intermediate position between the two press-in holes 28, no tensile force acts in vertical direction unlike the case where bored portions 30 are provided. As a result, the formation of a crack in the resin material between the two press-in holes 28 is prevented.</p> |
