Abstract
A terminal module includes an electrical contact having a body () configured to face a butting portion () on a mating terminal, oriented such that a coil axis (P) is parallel to the body () of the electrical contact member and configured to be sandwiched between the mating terminal and the electrical contact () to be tilted toward the coil axis (P) when the mating terminal and the electrical contact () approach. At least one of a facing surface () on the body () of the electrical contact () on which the obliquely wound coil spring () slides and a contact surface () on the butting portion () of the mating terminal on which the obliquely wound coil spring () slides is formed into an uneven surface for increasing frictional resistance during sliding.
