Abstract:
1. A connector comprising a housing made of synthetic resin, the housing having a terminal holding portion formed with a plurality of press-in holes spaced apart along an alignment direction and configured to have terminal fittings pressed therethrough, first and second arrays of bores formed in the terminal holding portion, the bores in each of the arrays being spaced apart in directions substantially parallel to the alignment direction of the press-in holes the first and second arrays of bores being offset from the press-in holes in transverse directions that are transverse to the alignment direction of the press-in hole, the bores in each of the arrays being disposed so that each of the press-in holes is disposed between one of the bores in the first array and one of the bores in the second array, and continuous material portions through which the synthetic resin of the housing is continuous being defined between the press-in holes that are adjacent in the alignment direction, the continuous material portions extending continuously in the transverse directions into spaces between the bores in the first array that are adjacent in the alignment direction and into spaces between the bores in the second array that are adjacent in the alignment direction.
