Abstract:
1. A terminal structure, comprising a male terminal and a female terminal, wherein the female terminal includes at least one set of elastic plate parts, the terminal structure configured such that the male terminal is inserted between the at least one set of elastic plate parts of the female terminal in a predetermined insertion direction to cause each side surface of the male terminal to be pressed by the elastic plate parts due to the elastic force of the elastic plate parts, whereby the male terminal and the female terminal are electrically connected to each other, wherein: the male terminal has a plate-like shape and is configured to come into contact with the female terminal on a first side surface and a second side surface of the male terminal, the first side surface and the second side surface of the male terminal facing away from each other; and first and second positions of the first side surface of the male terminal with which first and second contact parts of the first elastic plate part are held in contact with are offset from third and fourth positions of the second side surface of the male terminal with which third and fourth contact parts of the second elastic plate part are held in contact with, such that the third and fourth positions of the male terminal are within the first and second positions of the male terminal in the insertion direction of the male terminal.
