  • Patent number: 6746267
    Abstract: A housing (30) has a terminal accommodation part (32) for accommodating a terminal (20) and a circular arc wall (34) constituting an insertion opening (36) into which a socket (10) can be inserted. Slits (41) are formed on an upper end of the circular arc wall (34) to form elastic pieces (42). A protrusion (44) projects inwardly on each elastic piece (42) and is disposed to cover an upper portion of each contact piece (25) of the terminal (20). A guide surface (46) inclines inward on each protrusion (44). The lower end of the socket (10) slides on the guide surface (46) so that the socket (10) becomes almost coaxial with the insertion opening (36).
