Provided is a female terminal fitting capable of improving the durability of an elastic contact piece. A female terminal fitting (10) includes a tubular main body part (20) and an elastic contact piece (40) extending, inside the main body part (20), from a support point part (41) to a free end part (42) and contacting a partner-side male tab (120) inserted in the main body part (20). The free end part (42) side of the elastic contact piece (40) displaces in the plate thickness direction of the elastic contact piece (40). The main body part (20) has a first regulating part (31) and a second regulating part (32) that come in contact with the elastic contact piece (40) and regulate a displacement range of the free end part (42) side to less than or equal to the plate thickness of the elastic contact piece (40).

Various embodiments are described that relate an electrical current connector. The electrical current connector can be configured to provide electrical current when pressure is applied to a prong set. This pressure can cause a contact to engage with a connector. This can complete a circuit that allows the electrical current to flow. The connector can be coupled to a cable that can be configured to transfer data along with the electrical current. The cable can have an inner portion that transfers the data while an outer portion that surrounds the inner portion transfers the current.

A connection terminal includes a tubular electrical connection portion into which a mating connection portion of a mating terminal is inserted. The electrical connection portion is provided with an elastic piece with a first contact portion and an opposing wall disposed opposite to the elastic piece. The opposing wall includes: second contact portions disposed on a front side and a rear side in an insertion direction of the mating connection portion, and projecting toward an elastic piece side; and a curved surface located between the second contact portions and curved so as to be separated from the mating connection portion. The curved surface includes a first curved surface located on the rear side in the insertion direction and a second curved surface located on the front side in the insertion direction. A curvature of the second curved surface is set larger than a curvature of the first curved surface.

An electrical contact terminal formed of sheet metal, an electrical connector comprising the terminal, and a method to manufacture the terminal is presented. The terminal includes a longitudinally extending cavity for receiving an electrical contact pin therein and a contact beam having a contact face arranged at least partially inside the cavity. The contact beam is configured to be deflected by the electrical contact pin to apply a contact force to the contact pin when the electrical contact pin is received in the cavity. The terminal further includes a flat support wall oriented substantially parallel to the insertion direction of the electrical contact pin. An aperture is formed proximate to an edge of the support wall to form a support spring element in the support wall. The support spring element is configured to engage with the contact beam when the same is deflected, thereby increasing contact force.
