<p>Electrical connector (1) comprises a first contact member (10) having an arcuate contact section (14) that engages an electrical wire (3), a second contact member (40) which has a pressing portion (48) that presses a free end (30) of the contact section (14), and an insulating housing (60) that has a first cavity in which a wire-engaging surface (74) is located and a second cavity which communicates with the first cavity. When the first contact member (10) is inserted into the first cavity and the second contact member (40) is press-fitted into the second cavity, in a state in which the electrical wire (3) is disposed between the wire-engaging surface (74) and the contact section (14), the pressing portion (48) presses the free end (30) so that the contact section (14) is caused to make electrical connection with the electrical wire (3). The contact members (10, 40) are easily manufactured and subjected to low stress concentrations during connector assembly. <IMAGE></p> |
