Terminal

摘要

A terminal used in an electronic circuit unit with a circuit board including a plurality of connection conductors, a housing and a plurality of terminals respectively provided on ends of a plurality of wires includes a wire connecting portion to be connected to an end portion of the wire and a board connecting portion to be connected to the connection conductor. The board connecting portion includes a resiliently deformable first resilient contact piece having a first contact portion to be resiliently brought into contact with the connection conductor and a resiliently deformable second resilient contact piece having a second contact portion to be resiliently brought into contact with the connection conductor common to the connection conductor, with which the first contact portion is brought into contact. The first and second resilient contact pieces are resiliently deformable independently of each other and shaped to have mutually different natural vibration frequencies.

1. A terminal used in an electronic circuit unit with a circuit board including an edge portion and a plurality of connection conductors on a surface of the edge portion, a housing for housing the circuit board and a plurality of terminals respectively provided on ends of a plurality of wires to be connected to the respective connection conductors of the circuit board and each including a contact portion to be brought into contact with the corresponding connection conductor, comprising:
a wire connecting portion to be connected to an end portion of the wire; and a board connecting portion to be connected to the connection conductor; wherein the board connecting portion includes a substantially rectangular tubular main portion having opposite front and rear ends, a bottom wall formed with an opening and opposite first and second side walls extending from the bottom wall, a first resilient contact piece bent from the bottom wall at a first distance from the front end and extending into the tubular main body, the first resilient contact piece being adjacent the first side wall and having a first contact portion projecting into the opening to be brought resiliently into contact with the connection conductor and being resiliently deformable so as to allow a resilient displacement of the first contact portion and a second resilient contact piece bent from the bottom wall at a second distance from the front end and extending into the tubular main body, the second resilient contact piece being adjacent the second side wall and having a second contact portion projecting into the opening to be brought resiliently into contact with the connection conductor that is contacted by the first contact portion and being resiliently deformable so as to allow a resilient displacement of the second contact portion, and the first and second distances being different from one another so that the first and second resilient contact pieces are resiliently deformable independently of each other and have mutually different natural vibration frequencies.
