Abstract
An electric female connector piece for receiving a pin-shaped male connector piece therein for achieving an electric connection therewith, comprising: a connector piece main body having a C-shaped cross section by being provided with a pair of mutually opposing, elongated strips which are joined together at their long sides by a connecting strip; a contact piece consisting of an elongated strip which is adapted to be disposed between the mutually opposing strips defining a cavity of a substantially rectangular cross section; a fitting hole provided in a middle part of each of the mutually opposing strips for receiving a fitting projection provided in each lateral long edge of the contact piece; engagement portions provided at either lengthwise end of each of the mutually opposing strips for mutual engagement with corresponding projections of the contact piece; and a spring piece bent from the connecting strip for elastically urging the male connector piece against the contact piece. This connector piece saves manufacturing cost by permitting only an essential part thereof to be gold plated and simplifying the assembly process. Further, in the case of a multiple connector which incorporate a plurality of such connector pieces, by getting the fitting projections fit loosely into the corresponding fitting holes, the dimensional tolerance of the spacing between the pin-shaped male connector pieces can be favorably increased.
