Abstract
A locking plate portion is disposed so as to be movable in a lateral direction. A connection terminal is inserted while a locking piece of a connection portion of the connection terminal passes through an insertion groove of the locking plate portion Subsequently, an operating member is pushed in an arrow direction with respect to the locking plate portion and the locking plate portion is laterally moved by a wedge mechanism. Then, the locking piece is transferred to a locking portion provided in the front end side portion of the insertion groove. As a result, the locking portion locks the rear portion of the locking piece and a rearward movement of the connection terminal is regulated.
