Abstract: To provide a connector with which a terminal can be easily connected to a substrate without soldering. A connector (10) is configured such that a contact portion (13b) formed at a terminal (13) so as to be elastically deformable in the vertical direction is brought into contact with the upper surface of an LED substrate (3) and is thereby made conductive with the LED substrate (3), and such that a locking portion (14c) of each of locking members (14) is locked to the lower surface of a mounting substrate (4), and thereby the contact portion (13b) of the terminal (13) is held in a state of being in press-contact with the upper surface of the LED substrate (3). Thereby, the terminal (13) can be easily connected to the LED substrate (3) without soldering, and hence the mounting work of the connector (10) can be performed very easily.

Abstract: An electrical connection terminal for securely retaining a connection object without degrading connection reliability, and a connector using the electrical connection terminal. A first contacting portion adapted to cut into a lead wire of a cable to restrict displacement thereof in a counter-insertion direction is provided in the leading-end corner of a first contact piece of a terminal, and a second contacting portion with which the lead wire slidably makes contact is provided on the leading end of a second contact piece of the terminal. Disconnection of the lead wire is prevented by means of the first contacting portion and securing a sufficient area of connect with the lead wire by the second contacting portion. The second contacting portion is formed by chamfering the leading-end corner of the second contact piece. Accordingly, the leading-end side of the second contact piece need not be bent to form a curved-surface contacting portion.
