Abstract
An electrical connector for a flat type conductor comprises terminals (20) with contact portion brought into contact with the flat conductor (F) when the flat conductor moves to the the closed position, and a pressing member (40) rotatable between the open and closed positions, wherein each terminal includes a base (21) and a main arm (22) having a first arm portion (24) and a second arm portion (25), at least one of the first and second arm portions having a sub-arm portion (27 and 33). When the pressure member is moved to the closed position, the sub-arm portion is resiliently deformed about a joint portion between the sub-arm portion and the main arm so that a distal end of said sub-arm portion presses the flat type conductor.
Claims8
An electrical connector for a flat type conductor, comprising:
- a housing having an opening;
- a plurality of terminals held in said housing, each terminal having at least one contact portion;
- and
- a pressing member provided at said opening of said housing for rotation between an open position where said flat type conductor is inserted and a closed position where a conductive part of said flat type conductor is brought into resilient-contact with said contact portion of said terminal, each of said terminal including a base and a main arm having a first arm portion extending from said base toward said opening and a second arm portion extending substantially in the same direction as that of said first arm portion, at least one of said first and second arm portions having a sub-arm portion, wherein said flat type conductor is inserted between said first and second arm portions and when said pressure member is moved to said closed position, said sub-arm portion is resiliently deformed about a joint portion between said sub-arm portion and said main arm so that a distal end of said sub-arm portion presses said flat type conductor.
