PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the connection reliability between terminals.SOLUTION: A connector 1 comprises: a pair of first terminals 10 arranged in parallel to each other; a second terminal 20 electrically connected with each of the pair of first terminals 10 by being press-contacted with the pair of first terminals 10 in such a form that the pair of first terminals 10 are sandwiched as a block; and a ceramic member 30 with an insulation property that is sandwiched between and contacted with the pair of first terminals 10. Since the ceramic member 30 is less likely to be thermally deformed or deformed under a load compared with a resin and the like, even when a contact resistance between the first terminal 10 and the second terminal 20 increases, a contact pressure at the time when the second terminal 20 is press-contacted with the first terminal 10 is less likely to be reduced. Therefore, conduction failures between the first terminal 10 and the second terminal 20 caused by aged deterioration and the like can be suppressed, and the connection reliability between the terminals can be improved.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】端子間の接続信頼性を向上させること。【解決手段】コネクタ１は、並列配置された一対の第１端子１０と、一対の第１端子１０を一括して挟み込む形で一対の第１端子１０に押圧接触することで一対の第１端子１０の各々と電気的に接続される第２端子２０と、絶縁性を有し、一対の第１端子１０の間に挟持されて一対の第１端子１０と接触するセラミックス部材３０と、を備える。セラミックス部材３０は樹脂等と比べて熱変形や荷重変形し難いため、第１端子１０と第２端子２０との間の接触抵抗が増加した場合であっても、第２端子２０が第１端子１０に押圧接触する接触圧は低下し難い。このため、経年劣化等に起因する第１端子１０と第２端子２０との間の導通不良を抑制することができ、端子間の接続信頼性を向上させることができる。【選択図】図１
