CONNECTING TERMINAL

摘要

A connecting terminal has a tubular part into which a mating terminal is to be inserted and a spring contact part extended from the tubular part and arranged in the tubular part, wherein insertion of the mating terminal into the tubular part is allowed by elastic deformation of the spring contact part and the mating terminal inserted into the tubular part is to be electrically connected with the connecting terminal using an elastic restoring force of the spring contact part as a contact load, and the connecting terminal has auxiliary spring parts extended from the tubular part and elastically deformed following elastic deformation of the spring contact part.

主权项

1. A connecting terminal to be conductively connected with a mating terminal by inserting the mating terminal into it, comprising:
a tubular part having a housing space into which the mating terminal is to be inserted; a spring contact part which is extended from the tubular part toward the inside of the tubular part and is elastically deformed by contacting with the mating terminal to be inserted into the housing space; and auxiliary spring parts which are provided in the tubular part so as to support the spring contact part and apply to the spring contact part an elastic force in a direction toward the mating terminal which has been inserted into the housing space, wherein the auxiliary spring parts are part of side plate parts facing each other of the tubular part, the auxiliary spring part is substantially located in a plane that the side plate parts is located, a gap is formed around the auxiliary spring part and located between the auxiliary spring part and the side plate part, and the auxiliary spring part can deform elastically substantially in the plane that the side plate part is located due to the gap.
