The inside of 1 is partitioned into a plurality of terminal insertion portions 23 to form a connector. A plurality of band-shaped protrusions 26 extending from the entrance side of the terminal insertion portion 23 toward the inside are formed on a partition wall 22a that horizontally partitions the inside of the housing 21. The locking claw 27 is provided inside the portion 23. Furthermore, the locking claw 27
A notch is provided between the partition and the partition wall 22a.

２４が断線することがある。However, when discarding an electrical product in which a conventional electrical connector is used, it is difficult to remove the terminal 25 from the connector and to sort the electrical material. There is. This is because the locking claw 27 is originally designed with high strength so that the terminal does not easily come off the connector. Therefore, to remove the terminal 25 from the connector,
When the wire 24 fastened to the wire is pulled with high tension, the wire 24 may be disconnected.
