Abstract

A wire harness connection structure includes a connector housing having a plurality of terminal cavities, each of which is equipped with a groove 4 for guiding a reverse inversion preventing projection 6 provided on the terminal when the terminal is inserted in the normal fashion and a tapered guide surface 5 for guiding the projection 6 when the terminal is reversely inserted. When the terminal is reversely inserted, the projection 6 is prevented from moving forwards, thus making the insertion of the terminal impossible.
