った。However, in this type of terminal coupler, it is necessary for the male terminal to properly align with the relatively small opening for the female terminal formed on the end surface of the mating convex portion, and in particular, the male terminal requires high assembly. Attaching requires precision. Furthermore, even after properly assembling the terminals, when storing or handling the terminal coupler, the male terminal may bend due to collision with a foreign object, requiring a great deal of force to connect the terminal coupler, or causing the terminal coupler to bend. There was a risk that excessive force would be applied to the terminal coupler, or that the terminal coupler would be unable to connect.
