1. A connector which is configured by: a male connector including a male housing, and a male terminal that is inserted into and attached to the male housing; and a female connector including a female housing, and a female terminal that is inserted into and attached to the female housing, and
in which the female connector has an elastic lance that is projected from an inner wall of the female housing, and that is to be engaged with the female terminal, the female terminal has: a tubular socket portion; an elastic-lance engagement hole that is disposed in a tubular wall portion of the socket portion; and an elastic contact piece that is disposed in the socket portion while one end side is supported by the tubular wall portion of the socket portion, the female terminal is detachably fixed into the female housing by, in the elastic-lance engagement hole, engaging the elastic lance with the socket portion, and, when the male connector and the female connector are fitted to each other, the male terminal is inserted into the socket portion of the female terminal, whereby the elastic contact piece is displaced to be contacted with the male terminal by means of a contact pressure to electrically connect the male terminal and the female terminal to each other, wherein the female terminal has an elastic wall portion which is configured by a part of the tubular wall portion of the socket portion, and which is outwardly pressed by the displaced elastic contact piece to be displaced, the elastic lance is disposed on a side of the elastic wall portion of the socket portion so as to be outwardly pressed by the displaced elastic wall portion to be displaced, and the displaced elastic contact piece is pressed by the displaced elastic wall portion and the elastic lance, thereby increasing a contact pressure of the elastic contact piece. |
