Junction terminal and connector having the same

Abstract

A junction terminal is accommodated in a connector housing to connect a pin terminal fitted on a case of an electric instrument with a receptacle terminal of a wiring harness connector. The junction terminal includes a female electrical contact portion to electrically connect with the pin terminal of the electric instrument, a male electrical contact portion to electrically connect with the receptacle terminal of the wiring harness connector, and a bridging portion to connect the female electrical contact portion with the male electrical contact portion. The male electrical contact portion is constructed so as to be correctly positioned by a positioning member attached to the connector housing. The male electrical contact portion is arranged such that a first longitudinal line passing an intermediate point of the male electrical contact portion aligns with a second longitudinal line passing an intermediate point of the female electrical contact portion.
