The insertion hole 411 has substantially the same shape as the outline of the tab portion 241, and the tip of the tab portion 241 is inserted into the insertion hole 411 from the other side (the wire outlet 215 b side).

また、本実施形態では、被押圧体４０は、ムービングプレート４１０の他側（電線引出口２１５ｂ側）に設けられる弾性体４２０を備えている。この弾性体４２０は、例えば、シリコンゴムを用いて形成することができ、ムービングプレート４１０に一体に形成されている。また、本実施形態では、ムービングプレート４１０に３つの弾性体４２０を設け、それぞれの弾性体４２０が対応する端子収容空間２１６内に挿入されるようにしている。 Moreover, in this embodiment, the to-be-pressed body 40 is provided with the elastic body 420 provided in the other side (electric wire outlet 215b side) of the moving plate 410. FIG. The elastic body 420 can be formed using, for example, silicon rubber, and is formed integrally with the moving plate 410. In the present embodiment, the moving plate 410 is provided with three elastic bodies 420 so that each elastic body 420 is inserted into the corresponding terminal accommodating space 216.

また、各弾性体４２０には、ムービングプレート４１０の挿入孔４１１に連通し、タブ部２４１が挿入される貫通孔４２１が形成されている。この貫通孔４２１は、図３に示すように予め形成されていてもよい。また、被押圧体４０を初期位置に配置する際にタブ部２４１によって貫通孔４２１が形成されるようにしてもよい。すなわち、弾性体４２０には、少なくともタブ部（第１接点部）２４１が挿入孔４１１に挿入された状態において、挿入孔４１１に連通する貫通孔４２１が形成されていればよい。 Each elastic body 420 is formed with a through hole 421 that communicates with the insertion hole 411 of the moving plate 410 and into which the tab portion 241 is inserted. The through hole 421 may be formed in advance as shown in FIG. Further, the through hole 421 may be formed by the tab portion 241 when the pressed body 40 is arranged at the initial position. In other words, the elastic body 420 only needs to be formed with a through hole 421 communicating with the insertion hole 411 in a state where at least the tab portion (first contact portion) 241 is inserted into the insertion hole 411.

さらに、本実施形態では、弾性体４２０は、貫通孔４２１が拡大するように弾性変形し得る構成をしている。すなわち、被押圧体４０を初期位置から完了位置までスライドさせた際に、タブ部２４１よりも大径の部位がある場合、貫通孔４２１が大径の部位の輪郭形状に合うように弾性変形して、貫通孔４２１の径を拡大させることができるようになっている。なお、本実施形態のように、電線付オス端子２２０の径が段差状に変化する場合、貫通孔４２１の先端側に、先端に向かうにつれて拡径するテーパ部を設けるようにしてもよい。こうすれば、よりスムーズに貫通孔４２１を大径の部位の輪郭形状に合うように弾性変形させることができる。また、電線付オス端子２２０側に、弾性体４０の移動時における貫通孔４２１の拡径を補助する補助部材（例えば、貫通孔４２１を徐々に拡径させるようにするテーパ状の部材）を設けるようにしてもよい。 Further, in the present embodiment, the elastic body 420 is configured to be elastically deformed so that the through hole 421 is enlarged. That is, when the pressed body 40 is slid from the initial position to the completion position, if there is a portion having a larger diameter than the tab portion 241, the through hole 421 is elastically deformed so as to match the contour shape of the large diameter portion. Thus, the diameter of the through hole 421 can be increased. In addition, when the diameter of the male terminal with electric wire 220 changes in a stepped shape as in the present embodiment, a tapered portion that increases in diameter toward the distal end may be provided on the distal end side of the through hole 421. In this way, the through hole 421 can be elastically deformed more smoothly so as to match the contour shape of the large-diameter portion. Further, an auxiliary member (for example, a tapered member that gradually increases the diameter of the through hole 421) is provided on the side of the male terminal with electric wire 220 to assist the diameter of the through hole 421 when the elastic body 40 is moved. You may do it.

そして、被押圧体４０を初期位置から完了位置までスライドさせた際に、弾性体４０が電線付オス端子２２０の導体圧着部（接続部）２４２を含む領域を覆うようにしている（図２参照）。なお、図示省略したが、被押圧体４０が電線２３０の導体部２３１の露出部分、導体圧着部（接続部）２４２および電線保持部２４３の全体を覆うようにするのがより好ましい。 Then, when the pressed body 40 is slid from the initial position to the completion position, the elastic body 40 covers the region including the conductor crimping portion (connection portion) 242 of the male terminal with electric wire 220 (see FIG. 2). ). Although not shown, it is more preferable that the pressed body 40 covers the exposed portion of the conductor portion 231 of the electric wire 230, the conductor crimping portion (connecting portion) 242 and the entire electric wire holding portion 243.
