AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
In existing contact structures, the high frictional force between the first and second contact portions requires increased operating force for terminal movement, which complicates assembly and reduces efficiency.
Method used
The contact structure incorporates a low friction portion on the connection portion of the second terminal, positioned between the second contact portion and the elastic piece of the first terminal, which reduces the frictional force and operating force required for terminal movement.
Benefits of technology
This design reduces the operating force needed to move the first and second terminals, thereby improving assemblyability and maintaining reliable electrical connections.

Abstract
To provide a contact structure capable of reducing an operation part for moving a first terminal and a second terminal, and improving an assemblability.SOLUTION: In a contact structure 1 comprising: a first terminal 3 that includes an elastic piece 7 that can be elastically deformed, and a first contact part 9 that is provided to a free end side of the elastic piece 7; and a second terminal 5 that includes a connection part 15 that can be relatively moved with the first terminal 3 to an extension direction of the elastic piece 7, and a second contact part 17 that is provided to the connection part 15 and is contacted to the first contact part 9, the second contact part 17 is arranged to a rear side of a moving direction where it is closed to the elastic piece 7 of the connection part 15, is projected from a front surface of the connection part 15, and a low-friction part 19 is provided in the connection part 15, which is positioned forward in a movement direction closer to the elastic piece 7 of the connection part 15 than the second contact part 17, and has a frictional force with respect to the first contact part 9 lower than the frictional force between the first contact part 9 and connection part 15 and the second contact part 17.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
