ABSTRACT:
A terminal press-fitting construction in a connector housing includes terminal press-fitting open holes 22, formed in the connector housing 21, and terminals 23 inserted respectively in the terminal press-fitting open holes 22 in a press-fitted manner. Chamfered portions 25 are formed on an inner surface of the terminal press-fitting open hole 22, and four corner portions 24 of the male tab-like terminal 23 abut respectively against the chamfered portions 25 to slide respectively on these chamfered portions during a press-fitting operation so that the corner portions 24 can achieve a press-fitting effect. An opening of the terminal press-fitting open hole 22, when viewed in a direction of an axis thereof, has a polygonal shape (i.e., octagonal shape) having sides twice larger in number than the corner portions 24. The terminal 23 is inserted into this press-fitting open hole.
