ABSTRACT:
In a connector in which a plurality of wire connector terminals are inserted into a connector housing, a first marking is formed at the same position of the wire. Therefore, when a connector terminal is not prefectly inserted into the connector housing, the first marking on the imperfectly inserted terminal is misaligned from the other markings arranged on a parallel line. Further, a second marking is formed on the wire in such a way that the marking distance from the connector terminal increases in incremental steps from one extreme end wire to the other extreme end wire. Therefore, when two connector terminals are not correctly inserted into the connector housing, the second markings on the incorrectly inserted terminals are misaligned from the other markings arranged on an inclined line, thus allowing simple visual inspection of imperfect and incorrect insertions of connector terminals into the connector housing.
