Abstract
A notch 30 is provided at partitions 16, 26 and side walls 14, 24 to support slidably a coupling member 50 from a slide start to a slide end of the notch 30, said partitions and side walls partitioning terminal receiving chambers 18, 28. A resiliently clipping member 40 is provided at a terminal 35 to clip the coupling member 50 at the slide end of the notch 30. Further, the coupling member 50 has a thin joint piece, slidably contacting piece continued to the joint piece in a same plane, and a vertically contacting piece formed perpendicular to the slidably contacting piece. A wall to prevent the coupling member 50 from lateral displacement is provided at the notch 30, said wall being contacted with a side part of the coupling member 50.
