Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform a satisfactory connection even in a position slightly shifted from a female connecting terminal by providing a tapered substantially conical part advancing into the inside of the contact pieces of the female connecting terminal and making contact with the inner surfaces to perform an electric connection on a male connecting terminal. SOLUTION: The center line of the substantially conical part 11 of a male connecting terminal 1 is often slightly shifted from the center lines of the flexible contact pieces 13 of a male connecting terminal 2 in connection. In such a case, the semi-spherical part 11a of the male connecting terminal, 11 makes contact with the circumferential wall of the hole 14b of the female connecting terminal 2, advances into the hole 14b while sliding, and makes contact with the guide parts 13b of the flexible contact pieces 13. The substantially conical part 11 is advanced to a prescribed position on the inside of the flexible contact pieces 13 while guided by the guide parts 13b, and pressed onto the pressure contact parts 13c. Since the free end parts 13a of the flexible contact pieces 13 make contact with the regulating part 14a of a regulating member 14 at that time, the outward movement of the flexible contact piece 13 is regulated, and the substantially conical part 11 makes contact with the flexible contact pieces 13 with a sufficient contact pressure.
