Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A terminal includes a conductive terminal main body and a spring terminal. The terminal main body includes an electric wire crimping portion which caulks a crimping piece and an electrical contact portion which and accommodates the spring terminal to be electrically connected with the electrical contact. The electrical contact portion is formed with a slit for guiding the spring terminal in a cylindrical direction and a locking portion to lock the spring terminal to the slit. The spring terminal includes a resilient contact member provided with an opening divided in the cylindrical direction, the resilient contact member including knob portions formed to protrude outward from the opening at opening ends of the opening, the knob portion being locked to the locking portion, and an end to be inserted with the electrical contact of the resilient contact member is formed into a trumpet shape which expands in diameter outward.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A terminal for a round pin-shaped electrical contact, comprising: a conductive terminal main body including a cylindrical portion into which a round pin-shaped electrical contact is inserted; and a spring terminal configured to apply a contact pressure to the electrical contact to be inserted into the terminal main body, wherein the terminal main body includes an electric wire crimping portion which caulks a crimping piece to crimp an electric wire and an electrical contact portion which is formed in a cylindrical shape and accommodates the spring terminal to be electrically connected with the electrical contact, the electrical contact portion is formed with a slit for guiding the spring terminal in a cylindrical direction and a locking portion to lock the spring terminal to the slit, and the spring terminal is accommodated in the electrical contact portion and includes a resilient contact member provided with an opening divided in the cylindrical direction, the resilient contact member including knob portions formed to protrude outward from the opening at opening ends of the opening, the knob portion being locked to the locking portion, and an end to be inserted with the electrical contact of the resilient contact member is formed into a trumpet shape which expands in diameter outward. 2 . The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the locking portion is a recess which is formed in the slit to be wider than the width of the slit so as to accommodate the knob portion. 3 . The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the locking portion is formed by engaging protrusions each protruding to the slit as compared to the opening ends and engaging holes which are formed at places to abut to the slit of the knob portion and to which the engaging protrusions are fitted.
