Abstract
A combination terminal is provided so that it is minimally deformable. The strength of plate terminals constituting the combination terminal is maximized to ensure the prevention of both backlash and accidental disengagement. A plate terminal includes a rectangular plate-like securing member having a substantially circular securing hole in the center, and a joint having a coated clamping member consecutively extended from the end of the securing member and a conductor clamping member. The securing member is perpendicular to the length direction of the joint. The securing member is provided with retaining planes folded stepwise between base planes on opposite sides of the securing hole. The retaining planes are stepped down by the thickness of each base plane. In one end portion of the base plane is a fitting hole bored therein. In the other end portion stands a lock pawl cut downwardly corresponding to the fitting hole of a mating plate terminal.
