Patent ID: 10644426

Abstract:
A connector (C) includes a flat terminal (20), an obliquely wound coil spring (10) wound around a winding axis (A) that is parallel to the terminal (20) with the coil spring (10) sandwiched between the terminal (20) and a flat mating terminal (71). A connector housing (30) accommodates the terminal (20) and the coil spring (10) and includes an insertion path (37) for the mating terminal (71) to be parallel to the terminal (20). A rotation restricting portion (33) is in the connector housing (30) and restricts the coil spring (10) in a rotation posture to tilt with respect to the winding axis (A) such that a mating terminal side of a half-turn winding plane and a straight line connecting a start point (P1) and an end point (P2) of the half turn is on a back side in an inserting direction of the mating terminal (71).
