Female terminal

摘要

An elastic contact member (21) formed as a member separate from an electrical connector (11) for a male terminal to be inserted, installed in the electrical connector (11), and gets into contact with the male terminal inserted in the electrical connector (11). The elastic contact member (21) includes: first elastic contact pieces (22) formed with a space (S) in between in a widthwise direction (Y), cantilevered at one end side, in the insertion direction (X), of a surface of the elastic contact member (21) extending in the insertion direction (X), and configured to get into contact with the male terminal inserted into the electrical connector (11); and a second elastic contact piece (23) disposed in the space (S) and configured to get into contact with the male terminal inserted into the electrical connector (11).

1. A female terminal comprising:
an electrical connector for a male terminal to be inserted; and an elastic contact member formed as a member separate from the electrical connector, installed in the electrical connector, and configured to get into contact with the male terminal inserted in the electrical connector, wherein the elastic contact member comprises a base in contact with an inner surface of the electrical connector first elastic contact pieces formed with a space in between in a widthwise direction orthogonal to an insertion direction of the male terminal to be inserted into the electrical connector, the first elastic contact pieces being cantilevered to the base, in the insertion direction, a surface of the elastic contact member extending from the base in the insertion direction, and configured to contact the male terminal inserted into the electrical connector, and a second elastic contact piece disposed in the space, configured to contact the male terminal inserted into the electrical connector, the second elastic contact piece being cantilevered to and extending from the base in an opposite direction of the insertion direction.
