FEMALE CONTACT AND MATING STRUCTURE OF CONTACTS

摘要

A female contact (10) including a first elastic arm (13) and a second elastic arm (23) that extend from a rear end (B) toward a front end (F) and face each other, and a connection end (11) that connects the first elastic arm (13) and the second elastic arm (23) to each other. The first elastic arm (13) includes a first dummy contact point (18) provided at or adjacent the front end (F), and a first actual contact point (16) that is provided rearward of the first dummy contact point (18) and has a smaller protrusion amount than the first dummy contact point (18). The second elastic arm (23) includes a second dummy contact point (28) provided at or adjacent the front end (F), and a second actual contact point (26) that is provided rearward of the second dummy contact point (28) and has a smaller protrusion amount than the second dummy contact point (28).
