MALE TERMINAL AND CONNECTOR HAVING THIS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a male terminal in which a resistance force at the time of connection can be reduced with a simple structure and a connector. SOLUTION: The male terminal 5 has a connection part 5c including a contact portion 52 to contact a female terminal. Further, four projection parts 51 are formed at the connection part 5c. Thereby, the contact area between the male terminal 5 and a mating housing or the female terminal becomes small, and a friction force caused at the time of insertion of the male terminal 5 is reduced. Thus, resistance force at the time of connection can be reduced with the simple structure. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
