Abstract
A multi-contact terminal is provided integrally with an angular tube having a polygonal tube shape and a plurality of resilient contact pieces extending from side walls of the angular tube and to be resiliently brought into contact with an outer peripheral surface of a mating terminal in the form of a round bar inside the angular tube. According to this configuration, the angular tube functions as a cover for protecting the resilient contact pieces. In addition, since the resilient contact pieces and the angular tube are integrated, the number of components can be reduced. The resilient contact pieces are equal in length in a connecting direction to the mating terminal and arranged at positions different in the connecting direction to the mating terminal.
