A contact member (270) housed within a tubular contact holder (261) of a female terminal (250) has a variable-diameter section (275) comprising a plurality of metal wires (275a) of which both ends are held by a front and back holding ring. When a slider moves in the state of connector engagement, the linear motion of a cam protrusion provided to the slider is converted to rotary movement (R1) of a rotary ring (280) by means of a cam groove (290), and by means of the front holding ring affixed to the rotary ring rotating, causing a twist to be applied to the variable-diameter section, the plurality of metal wires (275a) deform into a hyperbolic surface, and a smallest-inner-diameter section is press-fit to a male terminal. |
