Abstract:
1. An electrical connector comprising: a housing; and a plurality of terminals fixed to the housing, wherein the housing includes wherein each of the terminals includes wherein the terminal portion includes wherein the front terminal portion includes a front contact-point portion and an elastic piece, the front contact-point portion slidably contacting the conductive connection portion of the connection object when the connection object is inserted into the movable housing and wiping off a foreign substance adhering to the conductive connection portion, the elastic piece supporting the front contact-point portion so as to be elastically displaceable, wherein the rear terminal portion includes a rear contact-point portion and an elastic piece, the rear contact-point portion sliding along a sliding path of the front contact-point portion in an insertion direction in which the connection object is inserted into the movable housing and conductively contacting the conductive connection portion from which the foreign substance has been wiped off by the front contact-point portion, the elastic piece supporting the rear contact-point portion so as to be elastically displaceable, wherein the front contact-point portion and the elastic piece of the front-contact portion, and the rear contact-point portion and the elastic piece of the rear contact-point portion are each formed so as to maintain a plate surface of a flat metal plate, wherein positions of the front contact-point portions that are adjacent to each other are displaced from each other so that the front contact-point portions contact the connection object at different positions in the insertion direction, wherein positions of the rear contact-point portions that are adjacent to each other are displaced from each other so that the rear contact-point portions contact the connection object at different positions in the insertion direction, and wherein the base and the movable portion are connected to each other in the fixed housing and are arranged side by side in the fixed housing in such a way that the base and the movable portion extend in the insertion direction.
