Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to an electric connection terminal used by being attached to a printed circuit board or an insulator of a connector. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as this kind of electrical connection terminal, a conductive metal plate is formed in a substantially U-shape as shown in FIGS. A device having a movable portion 1 that can be elastically bent in a thickness direction is known. In this electrical connection terminal, the movable part 1 is elastically bent in one direction in the thickness direction (A direction in the drawing) by pressing the opposite conductor and the movable part 1 under pressure. The electric contact state between the movable section 1 and the movable section 1 is maintained. The electrical connection terminal has a pair of side walls 2 arranged on both sides in the width direction of the movable section 1 so that each side wall 2 restricts the bending of the movable section 1 in the width direction. It has become. However, in the electric connection terminal, when an unexpected external force is applied to the movable portion 1, the movable portion 1 is not bent in the width direction (direction B in the drawing). Although it can be regulated by each side wall portion 2, it is not possible to regulate bending of the movable portion 1 in the other thickness direction (C direction in the drawing) or in the longitudinal direction (D direction in the drawing). There is a problem that deformation is likely to occur. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an electric connection terminal capable of reliably preventing deformation of a movable portion in the other thickness direction and in the longitudinal direction. Is to provide. [0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is formed so as to be elastically bendable in one of the thickness directions from one end in the longitudinal direction by pressure contact with a counterpart conductor. Sa
The movable part is formed so that a part thereof protrudes upward. The movable part is provided on both sides in the width direction of the movable part.
And a widthwise bend restricting portion extending to the upper, bending the widthwise direction
The bending part restricts the bending of the movable part in the width direction .
In the electric connection terminal, the bending in the width direction is restricted.
A thickness direction bending restricting portion provided at an upper end of the portion so as to be positioned above the movable portion, and restricting bending of the movable portion in the other thickness direction, and provided to extend upward at the other end of the movable portion. Was
Equipped with a longitudinal direction bending restrictor , allowing a thickness direction bending restrictor
Related to the upwardly projecting part of the moving part or the longitudinal bending restriction
To limit the bending of the movable part in the longitudinal direction.
It is configured so that: Thus, when an external force is applied to the movable portion in a direction other than one of the thickness direction, the bending of the movable portion in the width direction is restricted by the width-direction bending restricting portion, and the other end of the movable portion in the thickness direction is restricted. Is restricted by the thickness direction bending restricting portion. Further, the bending, the thickness of the longitudinal direction of the movable portion
The direction bending control part is a protruding part or a long part above the movable part.
It is regulated by engaging with the direction bending regulating portion. 1 to 3 show one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an electric connection terminal, and FIG.
Is a front view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a side view thereof. The terminal for electrical connection is formed of a conductive metal plate formed in a substantially U-shape, and has a movable portion 10 elastically bendable in one thickness direction from one end in the longitudinal direction, First bending restricting portion 1 for restricting bending of portion 10 in the width direction
1, a second bending control unit 12 that controls the bending of the movable unit 10 in the other direction in the thickness direction, and a third bending control unit 13 that controls the bending of the movable unit 10 in the longitudinal direction. . The movable portion 10 is formed on the upper side of the terminal body in the figure, and is formed so that a part of the other end protrudes upward. The first bending restricting portions 11 are arranged on both sides of the movable portion 10 in the width direction, and extend integrally from the lower side of the terminal body to the upper end of the movable portion 10 slightly above the other end. The second bending restricting portions 12 are provided at the upper ends of the first bending restricting portions 11, respectively, and extend in the width direction of the movable portion 10 so as to be located above the movable portion 10. The third bending control section 13 is provided at the other end of the movable section 10 and extends upward so as to be located on one side of each of the second bending control sections 12. In the electrical connection terminal configured as described above, the movable part 10 is pressed in contact with the other conductor (not shown) and the movable part 10 so that the movable part 10 is positioned in one direction in the thickness direction (A in the figure).
Direction), and the electrical contact between the mating conductor and the movable portion 10 is maintained. When an unexpected external force other than the direction A is applied to the movable part 10, the bending restriction parts 11, 1
The bending of the movable portion 10 is regulated by the members 2 and 13. That is, when an external force is applied in the width direction of the movable portion 10 (direction B in the drawing), the movable portion 10 is locked to the first bending restricting portion 11, and the bending of the movable portion 10 in the same direction is restricted. You. Also,
When an external force is applied in the other thickness direction of the movable portion 10 (direction C in the drawing), the movable portion 10 is locked to the second bending restricting portion 12, and the bending of the movable portion 10 in the same direction is restricted. You. Furthermore,
When an external force is applied in the longitudinal direction (D direction in the figure) of the movable part 10, the third bending regulating part 13 provided on the movable part 10
Are locked to the second bending restricting portion 12, or the second bending restricting portion 12 is locked to the upwardly projecting portion of the movable portion 10, and the bending of the movable portion 10 in the same direction is restricted. As described above, according to the electric connection terminal of the present embodiment, when an unexpected external force is applied to the movable portion 10,
Since the bending of the movable portion 10 in each direction is controlled by the bending control portions 11, 12, and 13, not only the deformation of the movable portion 10 in the width direction but also the other thickness direction and the deformation in the longitudinal direction are ensured. And durability can be improved. Further, since the second bending restricting portion 12 is formed integrally with the first bending restricting portion 11, and the third bending restricting portion 13 is formed integrally with the movable portion 10, these are formed together with the terminal body. It can be formed from a single metal plate, which is extremely advantageous in manufacturing. As described above, according to the electric connection terminal of the present invention , when an unexpected external force is applied to the movable portion, not only the deformation of the movable portion in the width direction but also the thickness of the movable portion can be reduced. Since any deformation in the other direction and in the longitudinal direction can be reliably prevented, the durability can be improved.
