ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TERMINAL AND CONNECTOR USING SAME

摘要

An object of the present invention is to provide an electrical connection terminal capable of securely retaining a connection object without degrading connection reliability, and a connector using the electrical connection terminal. A first contacting portion (13e-1) adapted to cut into a lead wire (6a) of a cable (6) to restrict the displacement thereof in a counter-insertion direction is provided in the leading-end corner of a first contact piece (13e) of a terminal (13), and a second contacting portion (13f-1) with which the lead wire (6a) slidably makes contact is provided on the leading end of a second contact piece (13f) of the terminal (13). This configuration can prevent the disconnection of the lead wire (6a) by means of the first contacting portion (13e-1) and secure a sufficient area of connect with the lead wire (6a) by means of the second contacting portion (13f-1). In the present invention, the second contacting portion (13f-1) is formed by chamfering the leading-end corner of the second contact piece (13f). Accordingly, the leading-end side of the second contact piece (13f) need not be bent to form a curved-surface contacting portion.
