Abstract:
A connection structure including electric wires to be accommodated in an electric connection box, wherein:an standardized insulating plate includes a pair of upper and lower electric wire fitting grooves formed straight in an upper face and lower face thereof at vertically symmetric positions such that the paired upper and lower electric wire fitting grooves are provided in plurality at a constant pitch in a widthwise direction thereof, and press-fitting slits are formed on the standardized insulating plate to extend through the paired upper and lower electric wire fitting grooves, the press-fitting slits provided in plurality at a constant pitch in a longitudinal direction of the paired upper and lower electric wire fitting grooves; compression relay terminals having compression blades formed at their upper and lower portions and retaining pawls that gradually extend outwardly at an intermediate position are press-fitted downwardly into press-fitting slits so that ends of the upper and lower compression blades of the terminals extend passed the upper and lower face of the insulation plate respectively; and electric wires with at least one of a male and female terminal connected to ends of the electric wires, the ends being free from the insulating plate, the electric wires are individually fitted in the paired upper and lower electric wire fitting grooves, in which said compression relay terminals are press-fitted, so that upper and lower electric wires are individually compressed and connected by the upper and lower compression blades of said compression relay terminals.
