ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a terminal retaining construction of a press-connecting connector which can positively retain a press-connecting terminal on terminal retaining portions of a housing, without reducing the strength of that portion of the press-connecting terminal where press-connecting blades for press-connection to a wire are formed. Each of press-connecting terminals 13 can be retained by terminal retaining portions 15 in a corresponding terminal receiving chamber 12 in a housing 11, the terminal having press-connecting blades 16 to which a wire can be press-connected. The press-connecting blades 16 are formed by stamping on each of opposite side walls 13b of the press-connecting terminal 13 to thereby form a window 17 through the side wall 13b, and the window 17 can be retainingly engaged with the associated terminal retaining portion 15 of the housing 11. Each of the opposite side walls 13b of the press-connecting terminal 13 has an interconnecting portion 18 extending upwardly from the window 17 to an upper edge 13d of the side wall 13b. A retaining recess 19 is formed in that portion of a bottom plate portion 13a of the press-connecting terminal 13 opposed to each of the windows 17, and the retaining recess 19 can be retainingly engaged with the associated terminal retaining portion 15 of the housing 11.
