<p>Provided is a terminal in which elastic contact pieces can be bent without being affected by foreign substances entered into a terminal container or a terminal cavity. In a terminal (1), elastic contact pieces (21) are provided as a pair on right and left lateral plates (2a, 2b) of a terminal container (2) and are used to clamp a counterpart terminal in the terminal container (2). The elastic contact pieces (21) include bent portions (211) bent and extending in the terminal container (2), clamping portions (212) extending in the terminal container along the lateral plates (2a, 2b), and contact portions (213) configured to make contact with a counterpart terminal. Gaps greater than bending ranges of the elastic contact pieces (21) are formed between inner walls (4a, 4b) of a terminal cavity (40) and the elastic contact pieces (21), and thus the elastic contact pieces (21) can be bent without being affected by a foreign substance (5) entered between the inner walls of the terminal cavity (40) and the elastic contact pieces (21).</p> |
