ABSTRACT:
A connector comprises a housing provided with a recess (7), a terminal cavity (9) and a gap (10), and a contact piece (2) provided with a base portion (2') and bifurcated free ends (3, 3'). Contact terminals (6, 6') of wires (W, W'), project into the recess through the terminal cavity. The base portion of the contact piece is fitted into the gap, the bifurcated free ends of the contact piece project into the recess, and only one of the bifurcated free ends is normally in contact with one of the contact terminals. Therefore, when an arm of the housing of an other connector is fitted into the recess, the other of the bifurcated free ends is brought into contact with the other of the contact terminals and completes an electrical connection between them.
