摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a male terminal having a contact part with a wide flat area secured, and having improved connection reliability without falling-down of a free end of the contact part or depression of a center part.;SOLUTION: A contact part 10 has a base part 11, a bending part 12 extending from one width side of the base part 11 and folded to be overlaid on the base part 11, and a flat pedestal part 15 held between the base part 11 and the bending part 12. The bending part 12 comprises a thickness side 13 vertically standing from the base part 11, and a wide side 14 communicated with one side of the thickness side 13 and overlaid on the pedestal part 15 in parallel to the base part 11. The base part 11 and the wide side 14 extend in a flat manner from the thickness side 13 shared on one side toward a free end of the other side.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT
