The present disclosure provides a connector and a terminal. The connector includes a terminal. The terminal includes an insert portion. The insert portion includes a front frame portion, a rear frame portion, a top plate portion, an arc discharge contact member and a primary contact member. The arc discharge contact member includes a bottom plate portion and a top elastic arm. The bottom plate portion connects the front frame portion and the rear frame portion and is spaced apart from the top plate portion in an up-down direction. The top elastic arm extends from the rear frame portion to the front frame portion and is positioned below the top plate portion. The arc discharge contact member is positioned in front of the primary contact member. The primary contact member includes a first elastic arm and a second elastic arm. The first elastic arm extends from the rear frame portion to the front frame portion and is adjacent between the bottom plate portion and the top elastic arm. The second elastic arm extends from the rear frame portion to the front frame portion, is adjacent between the top plate portion and the bottom plate portion, and spaced apart from the first elastic arm in a left-right direction.

A connector is to be joined to a mating connector. The connector includes a terminal fitting including an electrical connection portion to be connected to a mating terminal of the mating connector, a housing including an insertion hole, the electrical connection portion inserted through the insertion hole and a rear holder attached to the housing such that the rear holder presses and holds the terminal fitting against the housing. The housing includes a reference surface to restrict the electrical connection portion, with a portion of the terminal fitting abutting the reference surface, from being further inserted into the insertion hole. The rear holder includes a pressing pin to press, when the rear holder is attached to the housing, the terminal fitting from a rear side of the terminal fitting such that the pressing pin is partially and plastically deformed and the terminal fitting is pressed against the reference surface.

A connector (10) for a high-current terminal, includes a contactor (1) having two clamping arms (11) arranged opposite to each other and two conductive connecting plates (12) respectively extended from the two clamping arms (11) and stacked onto each other. In addition, the high-current terminal (100) is inserted between the two clamping arms (11). Accordingly, the current is provided with independent paths for flowing two conductive connecting plates (12), thereby preventing current overload and achieving the improvement of use safety of the connector (10).

In some embodiments, an electrical terminal includes a contact formed of a first material having a tensile strength, and a hood surrounding the contact, the hood formed of a second material having a tensile strength. The tensile strength of the second material is greater than the tensile strength of the first material. The contact and hood have cooperating retention features for securing the contact to the hood, and the hood provides strengthening features for improving the mechanical properties of the contact. The electrical terminal is mounted in a connector assembly. The electrical terminal has features which prevent or minimize damage to a seal of the connector assembly.

In a terminal accommodating chamber provided in a housing of a connector, a terminal to which an electric wire is connected is accommodated. The terminal is held by the engagement between a locking face of a lance molded in a terminal accommodating chamber and a locking target face provided in a box portion of the terminal. The locking target face is provided in a front ceiling plate molded by notching a ceiling plate of the box portion in a width direction to reach a facing plate outer face. The locking face and the locking target face are engaged with each other within a range wider than a facing plate inner face width of the facing plate.

An electric wire with a terminal includes: an electric wire including a conductor portion having conductivity and an insulator portion which covers the outside of the conductor portion and has a cut away or tapered portion at its leading face; a terminal connection portion electrically connected to a counterpart terminal; a conductor crimp portion crimped to the conductor portion; and a sheath crimp portion separated from the conductor crimp portion and crimped to the insulator portion. The sheath crimp portion includes a second base portion on which the insulator portion is mounted and a second barrel piece portion crimped with the insulator portion wrapped. In the insulator portion, the distance from an end on the conductor crimp portion side to the conductor crimp portion is relatively short, and the distance from an end on the conductor crimp portion side to the conductor crimp portion is relatively long.

A connector includes a housing (10) formed with a terminal accommodation chamber (11), and a female terminal fitting (30) with a rectangular tubular terminal body (31) is inserted into the terminal accommodation chamber (11). A resiliently deflectable locking lance (15) is formed in the terminal accommodation chamber (11) and retains the female terminal fitting (30) in the terminal accommodation chamber (11) by locking the terminal body (31). A resilient contact piece (44) is provided inside the terminal body (31) and resiliently contacts a tab (51) of a male terminal fitting (50) inserted into the terminal body (31). A resilient pressing portion (40) is formed on an outer surface of the terminal body (31), and a pressure receiving portion (18) on an inner wall of the terminal accommodation chamber (11) is configured to achieve resilient contact with the resilient pressing portion (40).

An electrical connector housing has a plurality of socket cavities configured to receive single terminal inserts or bus inserts introduced from a rearward section. At least one row of socket cavities is formed as cylindrical cavities extending in the housing in parallel manner along an insertion direction running from the rearward to the forward section. Adjacent cavities in the row are separated by a partition wall. First locking means are provided in the socket cavities for locking in place a single terminal insert arranged in a given cavity. Second locking means are provided for locking in place a bus insert inserted in a corresponding number of socket cavities. The partition walls comprise, in the rearward section, slots extending in the insertion direction to accommodate the bus plate of the bus insert.

It is aimed to improve durability by reducing a stress generated in a resilient contact piece. A terminal fitting (50) includes a box portion (60) in the form of a rectangular tube and a pair of resilient contact pieces (86, 87) accommodated in the box portion (60) and capable of contacting a tab (95) of a mating terminal inserted into the box portion (69) while resiliently sandwiching the tab.

The present disclosure relates to a power connector which comprises an insulative housing and a terminal. The insulative housing defines a terminal receiving groove therein and comprises a stopping wall. The terminal is positioned in the terminal receiving groove and comprises a mating portion, a stopping portion and a wire connecting portion. The stopping portion abuts against the stopping wall and comprises a first horizontal portion and a second horizontal portion. The first horizontal portion comprises a first front end edge. The second horizontal portion comprises a second front end edge. A portion of a front end of the first horizontal portion and a portion of a front end of the second horizontal portion are cut off, therefore when the terminal clamps the wire, the first front end edge and the second front end edge do not splay forwardly and outwardly to protrude forwardly, but are parallel to each other or respectively extend backwardly, which thus can avoid the first front end edge and the second front end edge of the stopping portion from abutting against the stopping wall first due to the protruding.
