ABSTRACT:
This invention prevents terminals 4 and 5 from being abraded or ground at contacting portions due to vibrations. An end of a male terminal 5 is secured in a part of a stepped hole 16 in a rear wall portion 12 and the other end off the terminal 5 18 coupled to a female terminal 4. Even if the female terminal 4 is displaced due to vibrations in a coupled position relative to the male terminal 5, the male terminal 5 can elastically deflect in another part of the stepped hole 16 in accordance with a displacement of the female terminal 4. Consequently, an abnormal contacting pressure caused by vibration at contacting portions of the male and female terminals 5 and 4 can be absorbed to reduce wear or abrasion between them.
