Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A locking part ( 13 S) which is formed in an end part of a male terminal insertion side of a spring contact is fixed to a fixing part ( 11 S) which is formed in an end part of a female terminal main body ( 11 ), and in this state, a joint ( 11 T) at which one end surface and the other end surface which are positioned in a circumferential direction of the female terminal main body face each other, and a joint (T) at which one end surface and the other end surface which are positioned in a circumferential direction of a spring contact ( 13 ) each other, are positioned to overlap each other in a radial direction.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A female terminal comprising: a cylindrical female terminal main body including a male terminal accommodation space formed inside in an axial direction, and a cylindrical spring contact including a long plate spring piece accommodated in the male terminal accommodation space, wherein a locking part is fixed to a fixing part, wherein the locking part is formed at an end part of a male terminal insertion side of the spring contact, wherein the fixing part is formed in an end part of the male terminal insertion side of the female terminal main body, and wherein in this state, a joint at which one end surface and the other end surface which are positioned in a circumferential direction of the female terminal main body face each other, and a joint at which one end surface and the other end surface which are positioned in a circumferential direction of the spring contact face each other, are positioned to overlap each other in a radial direction. 2 . The female terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the fixing parts are provided at a plurality of places, the locking parts are provided at a plurality of places, and each of the fixing parts and the locking parts are formed to be laterally asymmetrical. 3 . The female terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the fixing part is a notch part configured to lock a spring bending part formed by notching the end part of the male terminal insertion side of the female terminal main body. 4 . The female terminal according to claim 3 , wherein the locking part is a bending part formed by folding the end part of the male terminal insertion side of the spring contact on the outside.
