Electrical terminal

摘要

An electrical terminal for use with a resin-made connector housing containing a locking lance, consists of a terminal body having a collar projecting circumferentially therearound, and a locking member separate from the terminal body. The locking member has engagement means engageable with the collar to retain the locking member longitudinally in place on the terminal body. The locking member engages with the locking lance to lock the terminal in the connector housing. The locking member is made of resin so that during moving the terminal into and out of the connector housing, resin is prevented from being shaved off from the connector housing including the locking lance.
