Abstract

PURPOSE:To decrease the size of the whole body in the width direction and simplify the assembly workability by providing a hooking projection integrally on the back face of a terminal plate and hooking it on the inner wall face of a housing. CONSTITUTION:A lead wire pressing piece 26 is inserted through the bottom opening 24 of a housing 20, an operating knob 38 is protruded through a window 23 and assembled, and concurrently a coil spring 27 is assembled. The housing 20 is then turned over, a terminal plate 25 is pushed in, the projection 40 of the knob 38 is pressed to a work table 41 and rotated to the same height as a top plate 20a, and a protruded stripe 37 is retreated to the position where the protruded stripe 28 of the terminal plate 25 can pass. When the plate 25 is pushed in, the tip 30a of a bottom plate 30 hits a hooking step 33, when it is further pushed in, the plate 30 is rotated centering its tip 30a, the lower end of the plate 30 is pressed to the back face wall 20b side and pushed in, a hooking projection 29 bites into a back face wall 31, the plate 30 presses the bottom of the housing 20 by its elasticity and closes the opening 24 and prevents the lead wire pressing piece 26 from being released from an axis 34.
