Abstract:
A terminal, wherein. the lower and upper arms have a plurality of integral lower flexible arms and integral upper flexible arms respectively, which include at least a first lower and upper flexible arm and a second lower and upper flexible arm that are elastically displaceable independently of each other, the lower striking portions each have a first and second lower striking portion formed on a first and second lower flexible arm respectively, the second lower striking portion at a position that is offset in the longitudinal direction with respect to the first lower striking portion, and the upper striking portions each have a first and second upper striking portion formed on a first and second upper flexible arm respectively, the second upper striking portion at a position that is offset in the longitudinal direction with respect to the first upper striking portion.

Claim (Index 1):
An electrical connector for a flat conductor, said connector comprising a housing formed with a receptacle into which a connecting portion provided on the front end side of a flat conductor is inserted forward, a plurality of terminals made of sheet metal and arranged on and supported by the housing at a right angle to the flat plane of the housing, and a pressurizing member that is movably supported by the housing or by a member attached to the housing and that increases the contact pressure between the flat conductor and the terminals;\n the housing comprising an upper wall and a bottom wall that protrudes rearward with respect to the upper wall, and the receptacle is open rearward and upward at a rear portion of the housing; a fixing groove formed at a rear end of the bottom wall that protrudes rearward; wherein at least some of the plurality of terminals each have a lower arm that is supported by the bottom wall of the housing and is formed with a lower striking portion that strikes the lower face of the flat conductor, and an upper arm that is linked via a linking portion to the lower arm, receives force from the pressurizing member, presses on the upper face of the flat conductor, and is formed with an upper striking portion that increases the contact pressure between the flat conductor and the lower striking portion; the lower arm comprising at least one lower flexible arm that is elastically displaceable; and the upper arm comprising at least one upper flexible arm that is elastically displaceable.
