Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In a terminal including: a terminal body that has a mating terminal contact part with which a mating terminal is brought into contact, and a sensor fixing part; and a thermistor fixed to the sensor fixing part, and a charging connector using the terminal, the sensor fixing part has a cylindrical shape in which the thermistor is inserted, the thermistor has a lock part, and is allowed to be inserted in the sensor fixing part by elastic deformation of the sensor fixing part, and at an insertion completion position, the lock part is locked to the sensor fixing part.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A terminal comprising: a terminal body that has a mating terminal contact part with which a mating terminal is brought into contact, and a sensor fixing part; and a temperature sensor fixed to the sensor fixing part, wherein the sensor fixing part has a hollow portion in which the temperature sensor is inserted, the temperature sensor has a lock part, is allowed to be inserted in the sensor fixing part by elastic deformation of at least either one of the lock part and the sensor fixing part, and at an insertion completion position, the lock part is locked to the sensor fixing part by restoring elastic deformation, the terminal body has an electrical wire connection part, and the sensor fixing part is provided between the mating terminal contact part and the electrical wire connection part. 2. A charging connector comprising: the terminal according to claim 1 ; and a connector housing that houses the terminal.
