The electric connection portion includes a bottom wall, side walls, a plate spring, a top wall overlaid on an outer side of the plate spring, a plurality of top wall holding protrusions overlaid on an outer side of the first side wall, and lock portions provided contiguously with the top wall holding protrusions and locked at the reception holes of the first side wall. An inner wall of the terminal receiving chamber of the housing includes an engagement groove provided in a recessed manner along a direction in which the female direction is inserted into the terminal receiving chamber. The engagement groove engages with the top wall holding protrusions on the outer side of the first side wall to guide the insertion of the female terminal.
