Abstract
A terminal 10 includes a terminal body 11, made of electrically-conductive metal, and a stopper body 13 made of an insulative resin. That portion of the terminal body 11, extending from its distal end 11a to its proximal portion 11b, is formed into a generally-cylindrical tubular shape, and a slit-like guide groove 11c is formed through this generally-cylindrical tubular portion, and extends along a length thereof. The stopper body 13 includes a generally-cylindrical connecting portion 13a, an insulating projected portion 13b of a generally conical shape, formed at a distal end of the connecting portion 13a, and a retaining ring portion 13c of a generally annular tubular shape formed at a proximal end of the connecting portion 13a. A guide ridge 13d is formed on the connecting portion 13a of the stopper body 13, and can be positioned relative to the guide groove 11c so as to be fitted in this guide groove, and with this construction, the generally-cylindrical connecting portion 13a of the stopper body 13, extending between the insulating projected portion 13b and the retaining ring portion 13c, can be fitted in the generally-cylindrical tubular portion of the terminal body 11 extending from the distal end 11a thereof to the proximal portion 11b thereof.
