Abstract
An electrical connector that is reduced in size by appropriately combining connection terminals and a connector housing. Terminal insertion openings (15) for terminal accommodating holes (14) are formed in the rear face of the connector housing (11). The terminal insertion openings (15) each have an elliptic cross-section, and the ellipses are arranged so as to be aligned in a specific direction. Oblong sections of connection sections, having a narrow width, of the connection terminals are inserted into the terminal accommodating holes (14), along the terminal insertion openings (15). The connection terminals are engaged with elastic case lances and connection sections provided in the terminal receiving holes and are fixed in position.
