The abutting component 20 includes: a first abutting member 201, and the first abutting member 201 protrudes from the outer wall of the terminal body 10. The first abutting member 201 is a component of the abutting component 20, which can mainly reduce the shaking amplitude of the connecting terminal 1 in the sheath 30, improve the contact stability of the connecting terminal 1. The abutting component 20 is disposed on the outer wall of the terminal body 10, and the first abutting member 201 is higher than the outer wall of the terminal body 10. In this way, the shaking amplitude of the connecting terminal 1 in the sheath 30 can be reduced, so that the contact stability of the connecting terminal 1 can be improved, the wear amount of the contact point of the connecting terminal 1 can be reduced, and the service life of the connecting terminal 1 can be extended.
[0032] Therefore, the abutting component 20 is disposed on the outer wall of the terminal body 10. The abutting component 20 includes: a first abutting member 200, and the first abutting member 200 protrudes from the outer wall of the terminal body 10 and abuts against the inner wall 300 of the terminal hole cavity of the sheath.

In the front-to-back direction, the cross-sectional area of the second guiding portion 204 gradually increases. The cross-sectional area of the second guiding portion 204 changes in the front-to-back direction, and the cross-sectional area of the second guiding portion 204 gradually increases.
[0037] In addition, as Figure 1 shown, the abutting assembly 20 further includes: a second abutting member 200, which protrudes from the first side wall 101 and / or the second side wall 102.
