Connector with terminals that are connectable to parallel conductors of a wiring material to form an electrical connection assembly

A connector of that is connectable to conductors of a wiring material so that the connector and the wiring material form an electrical connection assembly, the connector comprising:

• terminals respectively corresponding to the conductors;
• and
• an insulating housing having a terminal holding portion for collectively holding the terminals arrayed in an array direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the conductors to enable the conductors to be connected conductively to the respective terminals while being arranged at intervals in the array direction;
• each of the terminals including a held portion held in the insulating housing and an outward projecting portion projecting out from a surface of the terminal holding portion from the held portion;
• the outward projecting portion of each of the terminals having a bent shape to integrally include a first projecting portion projecting in a first direction from the surface of the terminal holding portion and a second projecting portion extending from the first projecting portion in a second direction closer to a direction parallel to the surface of the terminal holding portion than the first direction;
• an outer side surface on a side opposite to the surface of the terminal holding portion having a conductor connection surface shaped to be connectable to the respective conductor of the wiring material with the wiring material extending in the second direction;
• and
• the terminal holding portion holding the held portions of the plurality of terminals such that the conductor connection surfaces of the terminals are arranged at intervals in the array direction, wherein the terminal holding portion holds the held portions of the terminals such that the conductor connection surfaces of the terminals adjacent in the array direction are shifted from each other in a longitudinal direction of the wiring material.
