ABSTRACT:
In an electric connector comprising a pair of mating parts adapted to be coupled to each other, corresponding contact elements disposed in the housings of the mating parts have same shape and dimensions. Each of the contact elements has a main body in the form of a channel and a plate-like member upwardly and rearwardly extending from the forward end of the bottom wall of the main body. The rearward end of the main body forms a connecting section for an electric wire to be terminated. The outer surface of the forward portion of the bottom wall of the main body forms a planar contacting section. The plate-like member is provided with an upwardly convex spring contact. In the housing of one of the mating parts, the contact element is arranged in the contact element groove of the housing so that the planar contacting section of the contact element is exposed to the exterior of the groove and the convex spring contact of the contact element faces to the bottom wall of the groove.
In the housing of the other mating part, the contact element is arranged in the contact element groove of the housing so that the convex spring contact of the contact element is exposed to the exterior of the groove.
When the mating parts are coupled to each other, the outwardly convex spring contact of the contact element in the other mating part makes contact with the planar contacting section of the contact element in the one mating part.
