Abstract
In a press-connecting connector (30), a receiving width (W2) between side walls (31b, 31b) of a connector housing (31) is larger than a width (W1) of the press-connecting portion, and a gap (g) is formed between each press-connecting blade (9) and the corresponding side wall (31b). In a wire press-fitting apparatus (40), a lower end surface (43a) of each of press-connecting blade pressing portions (43) is flat. The lower end surfaces (43a) of the press-connecting blade pressing portions (43) are brought into abutting engagement with upper end surfaces (9d) of the press-connecting blades (9), respectively, and a lower end surface (42a) of a press-fitting rod portion (42) forces an electric wire (7) into a gap (G) between downwardly-extending inner surfaces (9c, 9c). As a result, the pair of press-connecting blades (9) are displaced respectively toward the side walls (31b, 31b), so that the gap (G) between the downwardly-extending inner surfaces (9c, 9c) is expanded into a generally V-shape. Therefore, edges (9b), formed respectively along bladed, tapering guide surfaces (9a), can properly cut a sheath (7a) of the electric wire (7) without excessively cut a conductor (7b) of the elec…
