Arc resistant terminal, arc resistant terminal pair and automotive connector

摘要

A terminal to be electrically connected with an other terminal at a contact portion thereof by being engaged with the other is formed such that at least an outer-surface part of a final contact portion thereof which is separated last from the other terminal upon separating this terminal from the other terminal is made of an are resistant material mainly containing Ti. Thus, there can be provided an arc resistant terminal, an arc resistant terminal pair and an automotive connector provided with such a terminal which can effectively suppress an occurrence of an arc discharge even in such a condition that a base metallic material of the terminal creates an arc discharge.
