ABSTRACT:
A female electric connector for receiving a male contactor to achieve an electric connection to the male contactor. The female electric connector has an electric wire connecting portion and a receptacle portion extending forwardly from the connecting portion and having a box-like construction. The receptacle portion includes a bottom wall connected to and extending forwardly from the front end of the electric wire connecting portion, a pair of side walls extending substantially upright from both side edges of the bottom wall, and an upper wall constituted by a pair of upper wall parts extending toward each other from the upper edges of respective side walls. The side walls constitute a first pair of opposing walls of the receptacle portion while the bottom wall and the upper wall in combination constitute a second pair of opposing walls of the receptacle portion. A pair of slits for receiving a male electric contactor are formed in the opposing wall of either the first pair or the second pair to extend rearwardly from the front ends of these walls. At least a resilient contactor is connected to the front end of one of the opposing walls of the other pair and is bent backwardly to extend longitudinally and rearwardly in the receptacle portion. The resilient contactor makes, when the male electric contactor is inserted into the slits, a resilient contact with the male electric contactor to firmly hold the same in the slits to ensure a stable electric connection between the male contactor and the female connector.
