Abstract:
1. A connector that is interposed between two connection objects to enable electrical continuity between the connection objects, the connector comprising: a male terminal which has a conductive property and a tip of which is formed in a bar shape; a female terminal formed of a conductive wire rod that is wound with an inner diameter smaller than a diameter of the male terminal, the wire rod linearly extending at an end portion of the female terminal at which the male terminal is to be inserted; a male terminal bracket that holds the male terminal; and a female terminal bracket that holds the female terminal and that is connectable to the male terminal bracket, wherein the male terminal is inserted into the female terminal while a force that expands an inner diameter of at least a vicinity of the end portion is applied to the linearly extending portion, and thereafter fitted to the female terminal by releasing the force, and wherein the male terminal bracket includes a diameter expanding unit that expands a diameter of at least the linearly extending portion of the female terminal along with insertion of the male terminal into the female terminal.
