Since the shape of 0B gives priority to contact pressure and contact with the press-fitting hole H, it is not necessarily configured to perform the pressing smoothly. Therefore, there is room for improvement in order to facilitate the pushing operation of the press-fitting portion 100B into the press-fitting hole H. In addition, the terminal fitting 10 provided on the housing 101
When the number of 0s increases, the number of terminal fittings 100 is multi-stage (it is two steps in FIG. 9, but when the number of terminal fittings 100 is further increased, it may be three or more steps).
Will be installed in. At that time, the press-fitting portions 100B of the multi-staged terminal fitting 100 may be aligned in the vertical direction (of course, when there is a margin in the width direction of the housing 101, the press-fitting portions of the terminal fittings 100 having different stages are provided. 100

し込み操作が容易となる。Means for Solving the Problem, Action of the Invention, and Effect of the Invention In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the first invention is that the connection is achieved by being pushed into a press-fitting hole provided on the connected side. A terminal fitting having a press-fitting portion and a main body portion in which the press-fitting portion is provided, wherein the main body portion is provided with a pushing-in portion projecting the press-fitting portion into the press-fitting hole. It is characterized by The “connected portion” is exemplified by a printed circuit board, but in addition to this, a press-fitting hole is provided, and the press-fitting portion is expected to be pressed into the press-fitting hole. . It is sufficient that at least one "push-in portion" is provided so as to project from the main body portion, but it is preferable that a pair of "push-in portions" are provided so as to project symmetrically from the main body portion. By doing so, it is possible to suppress the generation of an excess moment during the pushing operation, and to easily push the moment into the press-fitting hole without tilting the press-fitting portion. The cross-sectional shape of the “press-fit hole” is not necessarily limited to a substantially circular shape, and may be a substantially elliptical shape or a polygonal shape such as a triangular shape or a quadrangular shape. In addition, the cross-sectional shape of the "press-fit section" is
The shape is not necessarily limited to a substantially circular shape, and it is sufficient that the terminal fitting and the connected portion can be brought into contact with each other with an appropriate contact pressure by being fitted into the press-fitting hole. In the present invention, it suffices that the press-fitting portion is provided on one end side of the main body portion, and the configuration on the other end side does not matter. For example, as in the case of one embodiment, the present invention can be applied to a case where it is directly connected to an electric wire / board in addition to the case where the tab is a male side. According to the first aspect, when the press-fitting portion is pushed into the press-fitting hole, the operation can be performed while pushing the pushing-in portion provided separately from the press-fitting portion. Therefore, the pushing operation becomes easier than the conventional one.

ことなく圧入部の押し込み操作を行うことができる。In a second aspect based on the first aspect, when the press-fitting portion is pushed into a predetermined position with respect to the press-fitting hole, the lower end edge of the pushing-in portion contacts the hole edge of the press-fitting hole. It is characterized as a stopper that contacts. Second
According to the invention, when the press-fitting portion is pushed to a predetermined position, the stopper, which is the lower end edge of the pushing-in portion, is brought into contact with the hole edge of the press-fitting hole for positioning, so that the pushing-in operation can be performed more smoothly. Be seen. In a third aspect based on the first or second aspect, the main body is incorporated into the housing so as to be stacked in multiple stages so that the positions of the main body are aligned in the vertical direction, and the pressing portion is provided in the main body. It is characterized in that the parts are provided so as to project in a direction different from the matching direction. The term "multi-stage" means a plurality of stages of two or more. “Different directions” means that when the plurality of main body portions are aligned with each other when viewed from above, the pressing portion appears to protrude from the main body portion. Note that the different directions are not necessarily the directions that are substantially vertical from the direction in which the body portions are aligned. However, by projecting the pushing-in portion in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction in which the main body portion is aligned, the protrusion margin of the pushing-in portion increases, so that the pushing-in operation becomes easier. Further, among the terminal fittings stacked in multiple stages, the terminal fitting located at the uppermost stage does not necessarily need to have the pushing-in portion projecting as in the present invention. This is because, in the terminal fitting arranged at the uppermost stage, the pushing operation of the pressing portion is not obstructed by other terminal fittings. When the terminal fittings are stacked in multiple stages, the terminal fittings located on the upper side may be an obstacle when the press-fitting portion of the terminal fittings located on the lower stage is pushed in. In the third invention, since the pushing-in portion is provided so as to project in a direction different from the direction in which the main body portion is aligned, the pushing-in operation of the press-fitting portion can be performed without being disturbed by other terminal fittings.

パの役割を果たすようになっている。<Second Embodiment> Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
Note that the main difference between the present embodiment and the first embodiment is the configuration of the pushing-in portion, and therefore the same reference numerals are used for the other same configurations and a description thereof is omitted. The push-in section 30 of the present embodiment is provided with a pair of symmetrically projecting parts from the left and right of the main body section 11. The push-in portion 30 has a substantially rectangular shape, and its upper end edge 30A is used when the press-fitting portion 13 is pushed in. On the other hand, the lower edge 30B of the pushing portion 30
Is formed so as to be substantially orthogonal to the extending direction of the main body 11 as with the upper edge 30A. This bottom edge 30B
Serves as a stopper that comes into contact with the hole edge 31 of the press-fitting hole H when the press-fitting portion 13 is pushed into the press-fitting hole H to a predetermined depth.

In addition, according to this embodiment, when the press-fitting portion 13 is pushed to a predetermined position, as shown in FIG.
The stopper which is the lower end edge 30B of 0 is the edge 3 of the press-fitting hole H.
Since the positioning is performed by abutting on 1, the pushing operation is performed more smoothly.

る。<Third Embodiment> Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
The same components in the present embodiment and the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted. As shown in FIG. 7, the press-fitting portion 40 of the present embodiment is formed to be biased to one side edge of the main body portion 11 and is provided at a position protruding laterally from the main body portion 11. For this reason, when the plurality of terminal fittings 10 are stacked in multiple stages at positions where the main body 11 is aligned in the vertical direction, the press-fitting portion 40 is inserted into the main body 1.
1 is projected in a direction different from the matching direction. Further, since the upper end edge 40A of the press-fitting portion 40 of this embodiment is horizontal, the press-fitting portion 40 can be pushed into the press-fitting hole H while pressing the upper end edge 40A.

The press-fitting portion 40 of 0 is the main body portion 11 of the terminal fitting 10 on the upper stage side.
Therefore, the press-fitting portion 40 can be pushed in.
