Socket terminal

摘要

A socket terminal (10) to be fitted and connected to a mating pin terminal (20) includes a tubular portion (11) to be fitted to the pin terminal (20). The tubular portion (11) includes a base portion (12) provided on a side opposite to a fitting starting end to the pin terminal (20) and a plurality of terminal pieces (13) extending in an axial direction of the tubular portion (11) from the base portion (12) toward the pin terminal (20), spaced apart in a circumferential direction of the tubular portion (11) and capable of resiliently coming into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the pin terminal (20) fitted in the tubular portion (11). The base portion (12) includes a plurality of terminal pieces (16) projecting toward the pin terminal (20) radially of the tubular portion (11) and configured to hold the outer peripheral surface of the pin terminal (20).
