An electric connector comprising: a connector terminal including contact portions (4b,5b) that are conductively connected with a mating connector terminal by elastic portions (4a,5a) that elastically support the contact portions (4b,5b), the mating connector terminal serving as a connection object, the contact portions (4b,5b) being formed of a metallic plate whose flat plate surface is maintained, the contact portions (4b,5b) including a front contact-point portion and a rear contact-point portion at a plate edge portion of the contact portions (4b,5b), the front contact-point portion and the rear contact-point portion being mutually independent of each other and being arranged relative to a planar terminal surface of the mating connector terminal in a fitting direction, wherein the front contact-point portion is provided with a sliding edge that is formed of a plate edge of the metallic plate, the sliding edge wiping off foreign material adhered to the terminal surface, the sliding edge slidingly contacts the mating connector terminal up to a contact position where the connectors are in a fitted state from when the sliding edge contacts the terminal surface of the mating connector terminal, characterized in that the rear contact-point portion includes a planar thin-walled portion whose plate thickness is less than that of the elastic portion, the thin-walled portion being provided with a contact portion that protrudes from the elastic portion towards the mating connector terminal and being formed of a triangular shape, the thin-walled portion being provided with a contact edge that is narrower than the sliding edge of the front contact-point portion and that has a sliding width that is less than that of the sliding edge of the front contact-point portion, the contact edge being formed of a plate edge of the metallic plate, the contact edge being conductively connected with the mating connector terminal, and that the connector terminal is formed so that plate thicknesses of portions other than the thin-walled portion are substantially the same. a connector terminal including contact portions (4b,5b) that are conductively connected with a mating connector terminal by elastic portions (4a,5a) that elastically support the contact portions (4b,5b), the mating connector terminal serving as a connection object, the contact portions (4b,5b) being formed of a metallic plate whose flat plate surface is maintained, the contact portions (4b,5b) including a front contact-point portion and a rear contact-point portion at a plate edge portion of the contact portions (4b,5b), the front contact-point portion and the rear contact-point portion being mutually independent of each other and being arranged relative to a planar terminal surface of the mating connector terminal in a fitting direction, wherein the front contact-point portion is provided with a sliding edge that is formed of a plate edge of the metallic plate, the sliding edge wiping off foreign material adhered to the terminal surface, the sliding edge slidingly contacts the mating connector terminal up to a contact position where the connectors are in a fitted state from when the sliding edge contacts the terminal surface of the mating connector terminal, characterized in that the rear contact-point portion includes a planar thin-walled portion whose plate thickness is less than that of the elastic portion, the thin-walled portion being provided with a contact portion that protrudes from the elastic portion towards the mating connector terminal and being formed of a triangular shape, the thin-walled portion being provided with a contact edge that is narrower than the sliding edge of the front contact-point portion and that has a sliding width that is less than that of the sliding edge of the front contact-point portion, the contact edge being formed of a plate edge of the metallic plate, the contact edge being conductively connected with the mating connector terminal, and that the connector terminal is formed so that plate thicknesses of portions other than the thin-walled portion are substantially the same.
