ABSTRACT:
A butt terminal in which the number of component parts is small, and a small-size design can be achieved, and a sufficient fitting displacement amount can be obtained, and a stable electrically-connected condition can be obtained. In the butt terminal of a two-part construction of the invention, a female terminal, having a sliding contact piece, and a male terminal are butted to be electrically connected together. The female terminal includes a box-like body of an electrically-conductive material which has a stamped piece portion which is formed on at least one of first opposed walls of the box-like body, and is bent inwardly to be slanting rearwardly, and sliding grooves formed respectively in second opposed walls. The sliding contact piece includes a push portion formed at a front end thereof for engagement with the male terminal, a contact portion which is formed at a rear end thereof, and contacts the stamped piece portion, and sliding projections which are formed respectively at opposite side edges thereof intermediate the opposite ends thereof, and can be guided respectively by the sliding grooves. The sliding contact piece is inserted into the box-like body from the front side of the box-like body.
