Patent attributes
A female contact made of a bent sheet includes a socket part which receives a male contact, a terminal part to which an electrical wire is connected, and an intermediate part which interconnects the socket part and the terminal part. The intermediate part includes a U-shaped part having a U-shaped cross-section and an extended part extended outside the U-shape of the U-shaped part through a 90°-bent part from an edge in a width direction at one end of the U-shape. An end of the extended part is coupled to the socket part, and the other end of the U-shape is coupled to the terminal part. Both of the U-shaped part and the extended part have widths smaller than the width of a spring piece which is in the socket part and configured to contact the male contact.
