Electrical connector with terminal having flat indentation

摘要

The terminals of a pair of connectors are made by deforming sheet metal in the thicknesswise direction so that they are located within an interference area prior to connection. The terminal ( 12 ) of a connector ( 10 ) has a flat indentation ( 12 B- 1 ), while the terminal ( 22 ) of another connector ( 20 ) has a projection ( 22 A- 1 ) within an area corresponding to the flat indentation ( 12 B- 1 ). The flat indentation ( 12 B- 1 ) and the projection ( 22 A- 1 ) are located within the interference area upon connection.
