Abstract

Pressure welding terminals are disposed on terminal receiving portions of a housing. The pressure welding terminals are provided with expanded portions and press-fitting slots. The expanded portions are to receive the wires. The press-fitting slots are electrically connected with wires by press-fitting said wires. Temporarily holding portions are provided with flexible portions and wire holding holes. The flexible portions temporarily hold the wires in space between the expanded portions. The wire holding holes are formed on the housing and are capable of receiving tips of wires. The flexible portions are provided with pairs of lances and pairs of flexible wings. The lances extend from terminal receiving portions of the housing and disposed on both sides of the wires. The flexible wings extend from the lances and hold the wires in spaces between the inclined edges.
