Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a female side terminal metal fixture capable of smoothly fitting female and male terminal metal fixtures while the contact pressure between the terminal metal fixtures is ensured. SOLUTION: An elastic contact piece 7 capable of elastically coming in contact with a male side terminal metal fixture 3 and an auxiliary elastic piece 10 are arranged on the inside of a box type fitting part 6 arranged in the front of a female side terminal metal fixture 1. The spring constant of a base side 20 of the elastic contact piece 7 is locally enhanced, and the tip 18 of the elastic contact piece 7 is more easily bent than the base side 20. According to the bending deformation of the elastic contact piece 7 caused by the pressure contact of a protruded contact part 17 by a male side terminal metal fixture 3, the tip 18 of the elastic contact piece 7 comes in contact with an upper wall surface and at the same time is easily, smoothly deformed.

In the above-described female terminal fitting 50, the spring constant of the elastic contact piece 52 is increased to a certain degree in order to set the contact pressure between the male and female terminals to a predetermined set value. I have to keep it aside. Here, for example, when it is necessary to increase the set value of the contact pressure of both terminals, the thickness of the plate material forming the female terminal fitting 50 may be increased, or the elastic contact piece 52 may be doubled. And the like. The elastic contact pieces 52 formed by such a method have the same thickness in the front-rear direction. For this reason, the spring constant of the elastic contact piece 52 is equal over the entire length from the base side 52A to the distal end side 52B, and the force F from the male terminal fitting 3 is applied to the two places of the base side 52A and the distal end side 52B. Will receive it. Then, Figure 1
As shown in FIG. 2, the force F is applied to the base side 52A and the distal side 52B.
At the stresses G1 and G3. For this reason, when the contact pressure of the male and female terminal fittings is increased, the frictional force H (proportional to the stress G3 at the distal end side 52B) when the distal end 52B moves to the rear of the female terminal fitting 50 is increased. It becomes difficult to perform a smooth operation when the male terminal fitting 3 is inserted.
