CONTACT SPRING FOR CONNECTOR TERMINAL, FEMALE TERMINAL, MALE TERMINAL, FEMALE CONNECTOR, AND MALE CONNECTOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a contact spring for a connector terminal that reduces contact resistance in large-current connector, and suppresses power loss, in a large-current connector that is largely affected by power loss.SOLUTION: A male terminal 41 has a projecting pin 42 that is to be inserted into a female terminal 31. The female terminal 31 has an insertion hole 33 that allows the pin 42 to be inserted therethrough. A contact spring 10 for a connector terminal is formed so as to have conductivity, and includes a cylindrical main body 11 that is to be fitted onto one of an outer circumferential surface of the pin 42 and an inner circumferential surface of the insertion hole 33 and is to have contact with the other of the two. A plurality of protrusions 14 that protrude radially so as to have contact with the other circumferential surface are provided in the cylindrical main body 11 in an insertion/removal direction D in which the pin 42 is inserted into or removed from the insertion hole 33.
