Abstract

A resilient contact 11 rise upwards diagonally towards the open end of an electrical terminal. A supporting member 11b is formed by folding an end of the contact 11 downwards and making the end of this folded over portion make contact with the base face of the protecting cover B. By these means, even if the point of contact is set towards the open end, the contact force can be maintained, and the rising member 11a is supported by the supporting member 11b when bending.
