PURPOSE:To provide connection terminals for small terminal pitches by integrally forming a wire crimping portion provided at one end of each connection terminal to which wire harness is connected and contact springs each of which forces a wire into elastic contact with the other end of each terminal. CONSTITUTION:A connection terminal 2 comprises a conductor crimp barrel 4 for fixing the covered wire 14 of a wire harness terminal from the upper end toward the lower end of a base 3, a conductor crimp barrel 6 for fixing the conductor 14a of the wire 14, and first 8 and second 10 springs which are pressed into contact with a cable to which wire harness is connected and which are curved from the base 3, the barrels and the springs being integrated together. The spring 8 is formed by curving the lower end portion of the base 3 into a roughly circular form and is so formed that the circular face of the spring 8 is located on the lower end face of the terminal 2. The spring 10 is formed by cutting the lower end circular face of the spring 8 outward and curving it circularly. To fix the terminal 2 to the inside of a connector housing, a rectangular lock hole 12 is formed in the base 3. |
