Pressure contact connector

摘要

A pressure contact terminal fitting 20 is inserted into a terminal housing chamber until it reaches the correct position, whereupon two protruding members 26 and 29 formed on the terminal fitting 20 make contact with corresponding receiving members 18 and 16. In this way, a pushing force exerted by an electric wire on a pressure contact member 24 is resisted by the receiving members 18 and 16. Resistance to bending is increased, and the contact portion opposite the pressure contact member 24 is relieved of axial load during the wire connection step.
