A suitable contact state is attained by an always stable contact pressure between a male contact and a female contact which form a tuning fork type contact. For a contacts providing a tuning fork type contact that attains a contact state by inserting a male contact between a pair of beams and provided on a female contact in the connected state, male contact and female contact are arranged so as to maintain a state wherein the width direction of the male contact is angled relative to the direction of separation of the beams and

Connector

A low insertion force terminal comprising a female terminal ( ) and a male terminal ( ), the female terminal being provided with a bottom ( ) soldered to wiring, and a pair of opposing upright parts ( ) extending from said bottom ( ) in a cantilevered beam shape; and wherein an extended part ( ) that projects on the distal end ( ) of one of said upright parts ( ) farther than the distal end part ( ) of the other upright part ( ) in the widthwise direction is provided, and a male terminal supporting part ( ) that grasps and supports the male terminal ( ) is provided at a position in proximity to said extended part ( ) of said pair of upright parts ( ).

Low insertion force terminal

An electric connector of the present invention is directed to alleviating a stress in housings of an electric connector. In the housings of the electric connector, slots are formed to receive associated terminals. Projections are formed in a staggered fashion on the oppose wall portions of the slot. The terminal has a retaining section against which the projections abut and a projection abutting against one wall surface. By the projection and projection on the wall surface against which the projection abuts, a projection on the other wall surf ace supports a force urging the terminal , so that the terminal is retained in place in the slot

Electric connector

An electric connector is provided which can be highly accurately positioned to a location to be aligned. An electric connector set comprises a pair of insulating housings,so formed as to have a plurality of openings,arranged in an array and a plurality of projections,each extending into the associated opening, female terminals,made of metal and each detachably fitted over the corresponding projection,of one of these housings, having a solder ball,and soldered to an IC package p through each solder ball, male terminals,each having a contact section,provided around the projection,of the other housing,and engageable with the corresponding female terminal,and a lead section,electrically connecting its housing bottom side,to the contact section,, and solder balls,attached to the lead section,at the bottom surface on the housing.
