Abstract: A connecting portion of the terminal has a projecting end surface and a pair of side surfaces, facing each other in a second direction serving as a plate width direction orthogonal to a first direction serving as a plate thickness direction of the connecting portion, and each side surface includes a fitting protrusion projecting outward in the second direction. A protective cap includes an end surface covering portion for covering the projecting end surface of the connecting portion and a pair of side surface covering portions, for covering the pair of side surfaces, of the connecting portion. Each side surface covering portion is coupled to the end surface covering portion at a base end part and includes a fitting recess, into which the fitting protrusion is fit. The fitting recess includes a pair of first facing portions, facing the fitting protrusion on both sides in the first direction.

Abstract: A multi-contact terminal includes a polygonal tube with side walls. Front resilient contact pieces extend from front ends of the side walls in a connecting direction to a mating terminal. The front resilient contact pieces are folded rearward by front folded portions and are to be brought resiliently into contact with an outer peripheral surface of the mating terminal inside the polygonal tube. Rear resilient contact pieces extend from rear ends of the side walls in the connecting direction. The rear resilient contact pieces are folded forward by rear folded portions and are to be brought resiliently into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the mating terminal inside the polygonal tube. The polygonal tube, the front resilient contact pieces and the rear resilient contact pieces are integral with one another.
