ABSTRACT:
A terminal (10) has two high-rigidity portions (14) for resiliently contacting the inner surface of a through hole (23). A low-rigidity portion (17) spans between the high-rigidity portions (14) and is compressively deformable along its spanning direction. The low-rigidity portion (17) has an easily breakable portion (19) that breaks when a stress acting during the insertion of the terminal (10) into the through hole (23) exceeds a resiliency limit. Thus, the terminal (10) is held resiliently in contact with a large diameter through hole (23) by resilient forces of the two high-rigidity portions (14) and a resilient force of the low-rigidity portion (17). However, the terminal (10) is held resiliently in contact with a small diameter through hole (23) only by the resilient forces of the two high-rigidity portions (14).
