Connector with a housing and a terminal having a conductive case, a conductive member in the case and a coil spring biasing the conductive member toward a meeting terminal

A connector comprising a housing and a terminal contained in the housing, wherein the terminal comprises:

• a case made of metal and contained in the housing, the case having a top wall and at least a first support spaced from the top wall;
• a first conductive member that includes opposite first and second ends spaced apart in a length direction, an engaging portion adjacent the first end of the first conductive member and opposed to the first support of the case, and a junction between the engaging portion and the second end of the first conductive member and being opposed to the top wall of the case;
• and
• a coil spring in the case while being compressed in a compression direction between the top wall of the case and the junction of the first conductive member, wherein
• the junction is movable in the compression direction in response to forces exerted by a mating connector on a surface of the first conductive member opposite the coil spring,
• the engaging portion of the first conductive member is movable in the compression direction when the junction moves in the compression direction, and
• the first conductive member has a width measured transverse to the length direction, the width being smaller at the engaging portion than at the junction.
