Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A connector (C) includes a housing ( 20 ) formed with terminal accommodation chambers ( 22 ). Terminal fittings ( 10 ) are inserted into the terminal accommodation chambers ( 22 ) from behind. Rectangular tab insertion holes ( 24 ) penetrates through a front wall ( 23 ) of the housing ( 20 ) and allow tabs ( 61 ) to be inserted into the terminal accommodation chambers ( 22 ). Guide slopes ( 29, 30 ) are formed by recessing and tapering an opening edge part of the tab insertion hole ( 22 ) on a front surface of the front wall ( 23 ). Detection holes ( 31 ) penetrate through the front wall ( 23 ) and communicate with corner parts of the tab insertion holes ( 24 ) so that a probe ( 50 ) for conduction test can be inserted into the terminal accommodation chambers ( 22 ) from the front.
