  • Publication number: 20080139007
    Abstract: A female terminal structure connector and a male terminal structure connector constitute an electrical connector. The electrical connector includes a plurality of terminals made of a metal sheet and arranged in a housing in a plate thickness direction thereof to face with each other in plate surfaces. The terminals are fitted into each other on a fitting surface provided on the housing. In the electrical connector, the terminal extends in a direction perpendicular to a fitting surface. A part of the terminal situated on a fitting surface side has a contact portion in a plate surface parallel to a fitting direction thereof. Further, the terminal of at least one of the connectors has an elastic portion to elastically bend in a plate thickness direction in a part of the terminal. The contact portion is provided in the elastic portion.
