TERMINAL AND CONNECTOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent soiling of a contact section of a terminal by flux and adhering of a moving part to an indented section of a terminal holder by the flux by carrying out sure prevention of flux migration although in a simple construction and at the same time increasing the reliability without deteriorating strength in a body section by forming a plurality of grooves so that they are not in parallel to each other in the body to which a soldered section to be soldered is connected. SOLUTION: The terminal used for the connector includes the soldered section to be soldered, a contact arm section which is in contact with a mating terminal and a body section which is connected to the soldered section and the contact arm section in between the soldered section and the contact arm section. The body section includes a plurality of groove sections which are formed on both side surfaces and which are not in parallel with each other within each side surface. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
