ABSTRACT:
Disclosure is to provide a terminal for a connector including an engagement mechanism which assures that the terminal can reliably be held in an electrical insulative housing in the engaged state while generating excellent terminal holding force and exhibiting high reliability. The terminal is made of a sheet of metallic material having electrical conductivity and includes an cable connecting portion, a rectangular column-shaped electrical contact portion, engagement pieces formed by cutting and bending a part of one wall of the electrical contact portion in the upward direction, and shock absorbing portions formed by inwardly folding rear edge portions of the engagement pieces. Engagement projections projecting from an insert pin of the connector including an engagement mechanism are brought into contact with the engagement pieces of the terminal with an increased contact area.
