Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve assembly work efficiency by providing an opening section with a guide section, and providing an engage-stop piece with a guided section which engages with said guide section to be freely engaged with or disengaged from said guide section so that the engage-stop piece can be freely slidably attached to the opening section and that said engage-stop hook can be engage-stopped while inserting a terminal metal piece. CONSTITUTION:Each of both inside portions of an opening section 11a is provided with a guide groove 11b as a guide section along the longitudinal direction of said section. Each of both sides of an upper portion 20b of an engage-stop piece 20 is provided with a ridge 21 as a guided section. The engage-stop piece 20 is installed under a condition of the ridge 21 freely movably engaging with the guide groove 11b. Namely, when a terminal metal piece 40 is inserted into a terminal housing 10 to a certain extent, a guided section 21 is made to engage with the guide section 11b to install the engage-stop piece 20 in the opening section 11a, and the engage-stop piece 20 is made to slide within the opening section 11a. Then the terminal metal piece 40 is pushed by the engage-stop piece 20 and is further inserted into the terminal housing 10, and the engage-stop piece 20 engage-stops at the terminal metal piece 40. This makes it possible to improve an assembly work efficiency.
