ABSTRACT:
Electrical connector (1) comprising a first contact member (10) having an arcuate contact surface (14a) that engages an electrical wire (3), a second contact member (40) has a connecting portion (50) and a pressing portion (48) that presses a free end (30) of the contact section (14). Insulating housing (60) has a first cavity (62) in which a wire-engaging surface (74) is located, and a second cavity (66) which communicates with the first cavity (62). When the first contact member (10) is inserted into the first cavity (62) and the second contact member (40) is press-fitted in the second cavity (66) in a state in which the electrical wire 3 is disposed between the wire-engaging surface (74) and the contact section (14), the pressing portion (48) presses the free end (30) so that the contact section (14) is caused to make electrical connection with the electrical wire (3).
