Abstract

Erroneous insertion of a press-connecting terminal is detected, either electrically or mechanically, by providing a piece either on a rear portion of a base plate of an electrical connector, or on a wire-press connecting portion disposed behind an electric contact portion which is provided at a front end of the base plate. The erroneous insertion-detecting piece is formed in accordance with a size of the press-connecting terminal.
