Abstract:
An object is to reduce the size of a multi-contact connector having a wiping function. A multi-contact connector includes a front terminal and a rear terminal. The front terminal and the rear terminal are independently housed in one terminal accommodating groove in a housing in such a manner as to separate from each other. Unlike terminals of a multi-contact connector according to the related art, each terminal has no junction where it divides into a front contact and a rear contact. The housing requires no space for accommodating such a junction, and this reduces the size of the multi-contact connector.

Claim (Index 1):
A multi-contact connector comprising:\n a housing having a fitting chamber into which a connection object is to be inserted; a front terminal including a flat plate-shaped front extending portion held by the housing, and a front contact configured to contact the connection object inserted into the fitting chamber; and a rear terminal including a flat plate-shaped rear extending portion held by the housing, and a rear contact located on a line extending from the front contact in an insertion direction of the connection object, wherein the housing has one terminal accommodating groove communicating with the fitting chamber and configured to accommodate the front terminal and the rear terminal together in such a manner that the front terminal and the rear terminal are in a separate state; and the front terminal and the rear terminal include respective substrate connecting portions extending from the terminal accommodating groove and electrically connected to one circuit contact point on a substrate.
