Abstract:
1. An electrical connection terminal comprising: a first contact portion and a second contact portion which are arranged in such a manner that positions of contact with a mating terminal are different from each other and which come into contact with the mating terminal in the direction orthogonal to an insertion and removal direction of the mating terminal; a first elastic piece which is provided with the first contact portion and is capable of elastic deformation in the direction of contact with the mating terminal; a second elastic piece which is provided with the second contact portion and is capable of elastic deformation in the direction of contact with the mating terminal; a fixed piece which is fixed outside; and a third elastic piece which is provided between the first and second elastic pieces and the fixed piece, is elastically deformed in such a manner that the amount of displacement of the second contact portion in the direction of contact with the mating terminal becomes smaller than the amount of displacement of the second contact portion in the insertion and removal direction of the mating terminal when the first contact portion is displaced in the direction of contact with the mating terminal, and is elastically deformed in such a manner that the amount of displacement of the first contact portion in the direction of contact with the mating terminal becomes smaller than the amount of displacement of the first contact portion in the insertion and removal direction of the mating terminal when the second contact portion is displaced in the direction of contact with the mating terminal.
