Electric connector

A electric connector comprising:

• a housing and a connector terminal, the connector terminal including:
• a front terminal including a contact portion that comes into contact with a connection target inserted from an insertion port of the housing and an elastic piece that supports the contact portion in a displaceable manner;
• and
• a rear terminal including a contact portion that comes into contact with the connection target subsequent to the contact portion of the front terminal and an elastic piece that supports the contact portion of the rear terminal in a displaceable manner;
• and
• a proximal end supporting and directly connected to both the front terminal and the rear terminal, the proximal end being fixed to the housing,
• wherein the connector terminal is a plate-shaped punched terminal formed by a plate-shaped conductive metal,
• wherein the elastic piece of the front terminal and the elastic piece of the rear terminal extends directly from an edge portion of the proximal end,
• wherein the rear terminal includes a contact that is disposed on the contact portion and comes into contact with the connection target inserted from the insertion port, and the elastic piece has a displacement fulcrum which is located at a position closer to the connection target inserted in the housing than to the contact is, and
• wherein the contact of the rear terminal is a portion of an edge of the plate-shaped conductive metal from a contact position that is initially in contact with the connection target inserted from the insertion port to a contact position that is in contact with the connection target at a regular mating position.
