Abstract: A connector terminal includes a main body, a support leg, and a resilient portion. The main body includes a contact portion making contact with a first side of a male connector terminal of a male electric connector, a spring portion facing the contact portion and making contact with the second side of the male connector terminal, a support portion supporting the spring portion, and a space-limiter (joint portion) restricting a space between the contact portion and the support portion from spreading. The support leg is adapted to be fixed at one of the ends thereof. The resilient portion connects the other end of the support leg and the contact portion to each other and is resiliently deformable in accordance with deflection of the main body.

Abstract: An electric connector includes at least one connector terminal into which a male connector terminal of a male electric connector is inserted, and a housing including a terminal storage room in which the connector terminal is housed. The housing includes a support supporting the connector terminal at at least one of an outer surface and a bottom of the connector terminal when the male connector terminal is inserted into the terminal storage room for preventing the connector terminal from inclining.

Abstract: A connector terminal includes first and second spring terminals between which a male connector terminal of a male electric connector is sandwiched. The connector terminal is formed by bending a strip-shaped plate about lines intersecting with a longitudinal line of the plate such that a width of the plate is maintained as it is. The first and second spring terminals are formed with a limiter for preventing the first and second spring terminals from being outwardly deflected.

Abstract: An electric connector includes a housing having an opening and a bottom, the housing being formed at the bottom with a recess, a terminal inserted into the housing through a bottom of the recess such that a top thereof is located in the housing, and a cured resin filled in the recess, the recess having an inclining inner sidewall.

Abstract: The electric connector includes an electrically insulative housing, and a terminal having an engagement section and inserted into a terminal space formed in the housing in a direction from a rear towards a front of the housing, the housing including a lance protruding in the housing towards an axis of the terminal space, and being able to engage to and disengage from the engagement section of the terminal, a resilient support resiliently supporting the lance such that the lance is able to move away from the axis, and a path through which a jig for disengaging the lance from the engagement section is inserted into the housing through a front of the housing towards the lance along the engagement section, the resilient support being formed with a slit communicating with the path and extending towards the lance from an entrance of the path.

Abstract: A housing used for an electric connector, includes a terminal space into which an electric terminal is to be inserted, and a lance for preventing the electric terminal from being slipped out of the terminal space, the lance including a flexible portion, and a protrusion extending from the flexible portion and engaging with the electric terminal, the lance defining an escape space in which the flexible portion can be bent in a direction in which the protrusion and the electric terminal are disengaged with each other, the flexible portion having a passage along which a jig can move and which extends in a direction in which the jig is inserted into the lance, the jig being used for disengaging the protrusion and the electric terminal from each other.

Abstract: The terminal is formed of an electrically conductive plate, and includes a first support part and a second support part disposed facing each other such that the first and second support parts sandwich a printed circuit board to make contact with opposite surfaces of the printed circuit board, the second support part being comprised of a portion of the plate expanding in a first direction intersecting with a second direction in which the printed circuit board expands, the second support part being formed with a recess opening in the second direction.

Abstract: The electric connector includes a plurality of terminals each having a stepped portion recessed or raised in a direction intersecting a direction in which the terminals are inserted into a later-mentioned housing, a housing formed with an opening, the terminals being inserted into the housing, and a holder inserted into the housing through the opening and engaged to the stepped portions of the terminals to thereby fix the terminals in the housing, the holder including a front and a pair of sidewalls all of which are shaped to be engageable to the stepped portions of the terminals when the holder is inserted into the housing, and a pair of flexible portions resiliently deformable to move towards and away from each other.
