Claim Text:
1. An electrical connector having terminals at different heights, comprising: a housing having a vertical wall that faces a mating direction and rises from a mounting side toward a counter mounting side along a height direction that is orthogonal to the mating direction, and being provided with a first hole that passes through the vertical wall in the mating direction and a second hole that passes through the vertical wall in the mating direction on the counter mounting side relative to the first hole; a first terminal having a first press-fitting portion that is fitted into the first hole, a first contact portion that protrudes from the first press-fitting portion toward a mating side, and a first leg portion that protrudes from the first press-fitting portion toward a counter mating side and then extends toward the mounting side; and a second terminal having a second press-fitting portion that is fitted into the second hole, a second contact portion that protrudes from the second press-fitting portion toward the mating side, and a second leg portion that protrudes from the second press-fitting portion toward the counter mating side and then extends toward the mounting side, wherein a recessed portion that is recessed from the counter mating side toward the mating side is provided between the first hole and the second hole in the vertical wall, the first press-fitting portion is press-fitted into the vertical wall by coming into pressure contact with, among wall surfaces that constitute the first hole in the vertical wall, wall surfaces on two sides in a width direction that is orthogonal to the mating direction and the height direction, and the second press-fitting portion is press-fitted into the vertical wall by coming into pressure contact with, among wall surfaces that constitute the second hole in the vertical wall, wall surfaces on two sides in the width direction and wall surfaces on two sides in the height direction.
