Electrical connector with electrical terminals
Provided is a connector which includes: an insulating housing; and a conductive terminal, in which the terminal is fixed to the housing, and includes a mounting portion connected to a board and a contact portion protruding from the mounting portion in a fitting direction, and a thickness of the contact portion is greater than a thickness of the mounting portion in a direction perpendicular to the board.
1. A connector comprising:
an insulating housing; and
a conductive terminal fixed to the housing,
wherein the terminal includes a mounting portion connected to a board and a contact portion protruding from the mounting portion in a fitting direction,
the mounting portion comprises a first metal plate,
the contact portion comprises a second metal plate connected to the first metal plate via a bent portion,
a thickness of the second metal plate is greater than a thickness of the first metal plate.
2. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein
part of a fitting-side surface of the mounting portion is covered with part of the housing.
3. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein
the terminal has a recessed portion between the mounting portion and the contact portion, and the inside of the recessed portion is filled with part of the housing.
4. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein
two side surfaces of the contact portion closely contact part of the housing.
5. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein
the inside of a fitting surface of the contact portion at a tip end thereof is filled with metal forming the terminal.
6. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein
the mounting portion of the terminal includes multiple mounting portions, and
the contact portion extends in a direction parallel with the board, and electrically connects the multiple mounting portions to each other.
7. The connector according to claim 6 , wherein
the contact portion has a U-shape as viewed from the fitting direction.
8. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein
the fitting direction is a direction perpendicular to the board, and the thickness of the second metal plate is a thickness in a direction parallel with the board.
9. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein
the fitting direction is a direction parallel with the board, and the thickness of the second metal plate is a thickness in a direction perpendicular to the board.
10. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein
the contact portion is formed by forging.
11. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein
the thickness of the second metal plate is equal to or greater than twice as much as the thickness of the first metal plate.
