Terminal structure of connector

摘要

A terminal structure of a connector includes a female terminal having a spring contact in a fitting portion thereof, and a male terminal having a male tab to be inserted into the fitting portion of the female terminal and contacted by the spring contact. When the male tab is fitted into the fitting portion of the female terminal to connect the male and female terminals together, during the interval between a point of initial contact between the male tab and the spring contact and a point just before the insertion force of the male tab reaches its peak value, the contact angle delta L of the male tab with respect to the spring contact, and the friction coefficient mu between a surface of the male tab and a surface of the spring contact satisfy the following relational expression: $\mathop{\mathrm{image}}$
