ABSTRACT:
The connector includes at least a terminal accommodating cavity for receiving a receptacle terminal of a rectangular hollow beam shape. The receptacle terminal has an electrical connection portion including a resilient contact tongue. The terminal accommodating cavity has a pin terminal insertion opening. Furthermore, a pair of distortion preventing members opposed to one another and projecting respectively from each of opposed inner side walls of the terminal accommodating cavity are provided adjacent to the pin terminal insertion opening. A guide recess is defined in each side wall of the electrical contact portion for guiding the distortion preventing member. The distortion preventing members are able to prevent distortion of the pin terminal cooperatively with an inner surface of a pin terminal insertion opening even when the pin terminal is incorrectly inserted in a slanting direction through the pin terminal insertion opening into the receptacle terminal.
