Title:
SHORT-CIRCUITING STRUCTURE OF FEMALE TERMINAL METAL FITTING
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3166588
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the number of part items and to attain miniaturization.
SOLUTION: A short-circuiting member 36 is integrally formed in the elastic contact piece 33 of the female terminal metal fitting on the lower state side and while the tab T of a male terminal metal fitting is not fitted, the short- circuiting member 36 is brought into contact with a female terminal metal fitting 20 and both female terminal metal fittings are short-circuited. When the tab T is fitted in the female terminal metal fitting 30, the short-circuiting member 36 is elastically bent downward by the engagement of the tab T of the lower stage side and moved away from the female terminal metal fitting 20 on an upper stage side and thus, short-circuiting of both female terminal metal fittings 20 and 30 are released. Since the female terminal metal fitting 30 is provided with the short-circuiting member 36 and the tab T is provided with a short-circuiting releasing function, compared with the case that a short- circuiting member and a short-circuiting releasing member are separately provided, the number of part items and space are reduced.
