Terminal unit having male terminal with inclined portions

A terminal unit, comprising:

• a plate-like male terminal;
• and
• a female terminal to be connected to the male terminal,
• the female terminal including a pair of connecting portions arranged to face each other across a male terminal insertion gap, the male terminal being inserted into the male terminal insertion gap to be arranged, and a resilient member for biasing the pair of connecting portions in directions approaching each other,
• the male terminal including a pair of inclined portions inclined toward one side in a plate thickness direction of the male terminal on both sides in a plate width direction, the plate width direction being a direction intersecting an inserting direction into the male terminal insertion gap, and
• the connecting portion of the female terminal facing a surface on the other side in the plate thickness direction of the male terminal including a pair of first projection-like contact point portions configured to respectively contact the pair of inclined portions of the male terminal arranged in the male terminal insertion gap,
• wherein:
• the male terminal includes a flat portion arranged between the pair of inclined portions in the plate width direction, and
• the connecting portion of the female terminal facing the surface on the one side in the plate thickness direction of the male terminal includes a second projection-like contact point portion configured to contact the flat portion of the male terminal arranged in the male terminal insertion gap,
• wherein the inclined portions of the male terminal and the first projection-like contact point portions of the female terminal are configured to generate component forces directed inward in the plate width direction, thereby limiting lateral displacement of the male terminal relative to the female terminal and reducing fine sliding friction between the terminals caused by vibration of the terminal unit.
