Abstract
A connector housing has terminal receiving chambers for respectively receiving press-connecting terminals, and those portions of the partition walls disposed facing outer sides of crimp arms of the press-connecting terminals can be retracted from an initial position where those portions of the partition walls are disposed facing outer sides of the crimp, arms. During the press-connecting operation, those portions of the partition walls are retracted, and after the press-connecting operation is completed, those portions are returned to their initial position, thereby suitably isolating the press-connecting terminals from one another. Thus, even if the thickness of the partition walls is reduced, they will not be deformed during press-fitting of a wire, and the resulting inadequate deformation of crimp arms of the terminals is eliminated.
