Abstract
An electrical connector includes: a metallic terminal member that is positioned inside a housing and that includes a pair of a first terminal part and a second terminal part, the first and second terminal parts facing each other and configured to sandwich an external terminal inserted into the housing from outside; and a block-shaped auxiliary member that is positioned to surround the first and second terminal parts inside the housing, and that, when the external terminal is inserted between the first and second terminal parts, rotates in response to a load produced by the external terminal and applied to the auxiliary member, thereby pushing the first terminal part in a direction to move away from the second terminal part.
