Patent ID: 7320606

Claim:
An electrical connector comprising: a first connector; a second connector; a first terminal provided in said first connector and made of a first sheet metal bent in a thicknesswise direction thereof so as to provide a first flat indentation therein; and a second terminal provided in said second connector and made of a second sheet metal bent in a thicknesswise direction thereof so as to provide a regulation boss which is located within an interference area, in at least a widthwise direction of said first terminal, with said first flat indentation of said first terminal when said first and second connectors are connected, wherein said first terminal, which has a U-shaped section, has said first flat indentation in an outer face of a first leg thereof such that said first flat indentation is surrounded by side edges in at least said widthwise direction so as to provide a regulation effect on said regulation boss in said widthwise direction and a second flat indentation in an outer face of a second leg thereof; and said second terminal, which has an S-shaped section consisting of a reversed U-shaped fixed section and a U-shaped flexible section with a free end, has said regulation boss on said reversed U-shaped fixed section within said interference area in said widthwise direction with said first flat indentation and a convex bend on said free end within a second interference area with said second flat indentation, said convex bend having a width smaller than that of the flexible section and a thickness smaller than that of the flexible section.
