Patent attributes
A plug member includes a plug body formed with a groove, and a plurality of plug contacts, which include contact pieces which are opposed to each other and fitted into a socket body. The contact pieces are disposed in the groove and on an outer face of a side wall of the plug body. A plurality of core conductors covered with an insulating sheath include a portion adapted to be inserted into the groove. A pressing member has a first part attached to the plug body such that the first part is inserted into the groove, thereby pressing the portion of the wiring member against one contact piece. The contact pieces are resiliently deformable, so that a first blade portion bites into the corresponding core conductor in the portion of the wiring member, and the portion of the wiring member is resiliently clamped between one contact piece and the first part of the pressing member.
