A connector includes a male terminal, a housing having a housing portion that houses the male terminal, and a pressing member arranged in the housing portion. A female terminal having a proximal portion and a contact segment formed in a cantilever-like shape and extending from the proximal portion, is inserted into the housing portion. The pressing member holds the contact segment of the female terminal that is inserted into the housing portion between the pressing member and the male terminals, elastically deforms the contact segment, and presses the contact segment toward the male terminal.

Connector and terminal connection structure with increased holding force while suppressiong the increase of parts

A first connector including a pair of male terminals of which axial directions of rod-like bodies having a circumferential surface are aligned in the same direction and which is arranged at an interval, a conductive coupling member which couples one ends of the respective male terminals in the axial direction to each other, and a first housing which includes a male terminal housing chamber for each male terminal and a holding mechanism which holds the coupling member the male terminal includes a rod-like body having a male terminal fitting portion to be inserted and fitted into the female terminal on the other end and a spherical turning fulcrum body which is provided at the one end and enables the turn with respect to the coupling member in the male terminal housing chamber about the one end as a fulcrum.
