A relay terminal includes an upper conductive and lower conductive plate, each having a plate surface intersecting with the Y direction, and a coupling part that couples the upper conductive plate and the lower conductive plate to each other. The coupling part is provided on one end in the Z direction of a combination of the upper conductive plate and the lower conductive plate, such that the coupling part connects both to a middle portion in the X direction of the upper conductive plate and to a middle portion in the X direction of the lower conductive plate. First and second pairs of contact parts are formed on the plate surfaces in end sides in the X direction of the upper and lower conductive plates, each contact part having a curved surface.

Relay terminal and relay connector

A connector terminal includes a contact portion to be contacted with a counter connector terminal, a hold portion held in a connector housing, and a coupling portion coupling the contact portion and the hold portion, the coupling portion being configured as a rectangular tube with four bending portions and having a single continuous band portion from the contact portion to the hold portion by having notches staggered from the contact portion toward the hold portion, each of the notches including an oblique part that extends to cross over adjacent two of the four bending portions, the oblique part of an odd numbered notch being slanted in a direction from the contact portion toward the hold portion as approaching a tip from an entrance thereof, an even numbered notch being slanted in a direction from the hold portion toward the contact portion as approaching a tip from an entrance thereof.

Connector terminal and electric connector

A connector terminal includes two top side contact points each of which makes point contact with a top surface of a counter connector terminal and three bottom side contact points each of which makes point contact with a bottom surface of the counter connector terminal and which are not aligned in a straight line, the two top side contact points doing not overlap the three bottom side contact points when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the top surface of the counter connector terminal in a fitted state, a position of a center of gravity as determined by arrangement positions of the two top side contact points coincides with a position of a center of gravity as determined by arrangement positions of the three bottom side contact points when viewed in the direction perpendicular to the top surface of the counter connector terminal in the fitted state.

A waterproof connector is mateable with a mating connector along a mating direction. The waterproof connector comprises a first housing, a second housing and a primary sealing member. The second housing is movable relative to the first housing in a plane perpendicular to the mating direction. The primary sealing member has a first fixed portion, a second fixed portion and a middle portion. The first fixed portion is fixed to the first housing, and the second fixed portion is fixed to the second housing. The first fixed portion is connected to the second fixed portion via the middle portion with no break in a cross-section in parallel to the mating direction. The middle portion is looped with no break in a plane perpendicular to the mating direction.
