Abstract
Disclosed is a novel terminal unit that can inhibit the shaving of plating of a columnar connecting part or cylindrical connecting part. This terminal unit 10 comprises: a first terminal 12 having a columnar connecting part 16, and a resin cap 24, the maximum outer diameter dimension of which is made greater than the outer diameter dimension of the columnar connecting part 16; and a second terminal 14 having a cylindrical connecting part 18 that is elastically deformable in the radial direction. The columnar connecting part 16 can be attached to the cylindrical connecting part 18 by press-fitting. In a state in which the resin cap 24 is positioned inside the cylindrical connecting part 18, the cylindrical connecting part 18 is caused to undergo diameter expansion deformation by the resin cap 24, thereby pushing second side contacts 56a, 56b provided to an inner peripheral surface 20 of the cylindrical connecting part 18 in a direction away from a first side contact 22 formed by the outer peripheral surface of the columnar connecting part 16. In a state in which the resin cap 24 protrudes toward the tip side in the press-fitting direction from the cylindrical connecting part 18, the second side contact 56 comes into press-contact with the first side contact 22 by the elastic restoring force of the cylindrical connecting part 18.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
