ABSTRACT:
A spring-incorporated flat type terminal structure which can be manufactured efficiently and which requires only a small space for engagement or disengagement of the male and female parts of the terminals of the connector. A flat type female terminal of electrically conductive material has a terminal engaging section and a wire connecting section. The terminal engaging section is substantially in the form of a rectangular box and has a terminal accommodating chamber with a terminal inserting inlet opened in one side. The terminal inserting inlet has four locking grooves at the four corners of the inserting inlet to hold spacer springs. The wire connecting section has an engaging hole into which the conductor of an electrical wire W is inserted. Hence, by inserting the engaging piece of a flat type male connector into the terminal engaging section from above, the wire of the flat type female connector can be electrically connected to the wire of the flat type male connector.
