Terminal module

A terminal module comprising:

• a case including an opening through which a mating contact point is to be inserted;
• a resilient member accommodated in the case;
• and
• an electrical contact biased toward the opening by the resilient member and configured to move while compressing the resilient member by being pressed by the mating contact point;
• wherein:
• the case includes a first guide configured to guide the electrical contact to a position shifted from a position before a movement in a direction orthogonal to an inserting direction of the mating contact point by sliding in contact with the electrical contact when the electrical contact moves by being pressed by the mating contact point and a second guide portion configured to guide the electrical contact member to the position before the movement by sliding in contact with the electrical contact when the electrical contact guided to the shifted position moves toward the opening by being biased by the resilient member:
• the first and second guide portions are provided on inner wall surfaces of a guide hole provided in a side wall of the case;
• the electrical contact member includes a protruding portion inserted in the guide hole and configured to slide in contact with the first and second guides;
• and
• the first guide includes a first folded portion protruding from the inner wall surface and bent at 90° or more, and the protrusion slides in contact with the first folded portion.
