Abstract
A male terminal (90) is inserted into a tubular main body (11) and a resilient contact piece (13) separate from the main body (11) is deflectably arranged in the main body (11). The main body (11) includes crimping pieces (27) to be crimped and fixed to crimping regions (33) of the resilient contact piece (13). Protrusions (28, 36) which bite into mating sides at the time of crimping are provided on crimping surfaces (38, 39) along which the crimping pieces (27) and the crimping regions (33) are crimped to each other.
Claims17
A terminal fitting (10), comprising:
- a substantially tubular main body (11) into which a male terminal (90) is to be inserted;
- a resilient contact piece (13) that is separate from the main body (11) and deflectably arranged in the main body (11) for resiliently contacting the male terminal (90) in the main body (11);
- a first of the main body (11) and the resilient contact piece (13) including at least one crimping piece (27) with a first crimping surface (38) to be crimped and fixed to a second crimping surface (39) on a second of the main body (11) and the resilient contact piece (13);
- and
- at least one protrusion (28;
- 36) formed on at least one the first and second crimping surfaces (38;
- 39) and biting into the first or second of the crimping surfaces (38;
- 39) opposed to the protrusion (28;
- 36) when the crimping piece (27) is crimped.
