ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector of the present invention comprises a substantially rectangular, sleeve-shaped electrically contacting portion in which a male terminal is to be inserted, and an electric wire connecting portion of a substantially U-shape in section which is formed integrally with the electrically contacting portion for fixedly securing an electric wire thereto. The arrangement is made such that a resilient contact piece formed by extending one wall of said electrically contacting portion is located in the electrically contacting portion, and a projection is formed by projecting part of the other wall opposite to the resilient contact piece towards the latter to thereby enable a male terminal to be gripped resiliently and held between the projection and said resilient contact piece. The electrical connector further comprises a protective wall formed by extending a side wall of said electrically contacting portion so that it may contact with and cover the outer surface of said other wall of said electrically contacting portion, thereby preventing said projection from bulging towards said resilient contact piece.
