Abstract
A large-current terminal () includes a male terminal () having a male-side contact surface (), a female terminal () having a female-side contact surface (), a coil spring () including male-side contacts () for contacting the male-side contact surface () and female-side contacts () for contacting the female-side contact surface (). A spring holder () holds the coils spring () and includes male-side and female-side openings () for exposing the male-side and female-side contacts (). The coil spring () is compressed in a facing direction of the contact surfaces () by disposing the male-side contact surface () to face both the female-side contact surface () and the male-side openings () with the female-side contact surface () directed toward the female-side openings (). The spring holder () is movable such that the female-side opening () approaches the female-side contact surface () as the coil spring () is compressed.
