Abstract
A connector (C) includes a flat terminal (), an obliquely wound coil spring () wound around a winding axis (A) that is parallel to the terminal () with the coil spring () sandwiched between the terminal () and a flat mating terminal (). A connector housing () accommodates the terminal () and the coil spring () and includes an insertion path () for the mating terminal () to be parallel to the terminal (). A rotation restricting portion () is in the connector housing () and restricts the coil spring () in a rotation posture to tilt with respect to the winding axis (A) such that a mating terminal side of a half-turn winding plane and a straight line connecting a start point (P) and an end point (P) of the half turn is on a back side in an inserting direction of the mating terminal ().
