ABSTRACT:
A short-circuit terminal assembly comprised of two components: a housing and a U-shaped short-circuit terminal. The housing includes a box portion having its one end surface substantially closed and its other end surface opened as an open portion, and further includes a terminal holding portion which projects from the substantially closed end surface toward the opposite end surface so as to halve the hollow inside of the box portion. The U-shaped short-circuit terminal includes a short-circuit bridge portion substantially bent into a U-shape in vertical section, and two pairs of elastic socket portions formed on outsides of opposite leg portions of the bridge portion by curving a pair of projection pieces toward each other on opposite sides of each of the leg portions so as to be formed into each pair of the elastic socket portions. Accordingly, the number of parts of the short-circuit terminal assembly as a whole is reduced so that not only reduction in cost can be attained but also assembling can be performed rapidly.
