Abstract: A male terminal comprises an electrical contact portion and an insulating member made of insulating material. The electrical contact portion is inserted into and connected to a female terminal. The insulating member includes a to-be-received portion accommodated in the electrical contact portion and a to-be-exposed portion. The electrical contact portion includes a bottom wall upon which the to-be-received portion is disposed, and a top wall. The to-be-received portion is positioned between the bottom wall and the top wall having a securing engagement portion brought into engagement with the to-be-received portion. The male terminal is made by placing the to-be-received portion upon the bottom wall while the bottom wall, the top wall, and the securing engagement portion are flush with each other, bending them such that the to-be-received portion resides between the top wall and the bottom wall, and bringing the securing engagement portion into engagement with the to-be-received portion.

Abstract: To provide a connector able to be surely fitted with a mating connector by absorbing a position gap generated between a terminal and a terminal of the mating connector. A connector 1 includes: a terminal 2; an inner housing 5; and an outer housing 30 receiving the terminal 2 and the inner housing 5. The terminal 2 is provided with a first electric connecting part 21 received and held in the inner housing 5 and electrically connected to the mating connector, a second electric connecting part 22, and a flexible coupling part 23 made of conductive material, movably coupling and electrically connecting the first electric connecting part 21 and the second electric connecting part 22. The outer housing 30 is provided with a receiving part 36 movably receiving the inner housing 5 which receives the first electric connecting part 21, and a fixing part 35 to which the second electric connecting part 22 is fixed.

Abstract: An electric distribution box includes a circuit which is operable to perform the flowing, interruption and detection of electric current, and the circuit having distribution parts and a first bus bar which connects the distribution parts, a case body in which the circuit is contained, and an external input/output terminal portion which is detachably mounted on an outer surface of the case body, and is adapted to be connected to the first bus bar.

Abstract: An electric distribution box for containing a distribution parts includes a first case, a second case that is attached to the first case, and a female-female terminal that has holding portions for holding and electrically connecting mating terminals. A first recess portion is provided on one of the first and second cases, and receives a part of the female-female terminal. A second recess portion is provided on the other of the first and second cases, and receives a remaining part of the female-female terminal. An inserting hole for inserting one of the mating terminal to contact with the female-female terminal is formed in at least one of the first and second recess portions.

Abstract: A guide wall and a recessed portion for accommodating therein a female-female terminal are formed in a lower case, and in an intermediate plate, a through hole through which an electric connection portion which is in abutment with the guide wall is formed and a guide portion is provided at a lower edge portion of the through hole so formed so as to protrude therefrom so as to be brought into abutment with the electric connection portion, so that the electric connection portion is guided into the through hole. Thus, by inserting the intermediate plate between the upper case and the lower case so as to be held therebetween, the guide portion automatically corrects the bend of the electric connection portion.
