【発明が解決しようとする課題】しかし、硬銅と軟銅と
を問わず、銅は塑性域での可撓性及び強度が不充分であ

から、伸縮許容部９の位置ずれ、捩じれ、振動の吸収機
能が不充分である。However, regardless of whether it is hard copper or soft copper, copper has insufficient flexibility and strength in the plastic region, and the conventional connecting terminal 1 is a flexible conductor of a copper plate. Since the bent portions 7 and 7 and the arc-shaped expansion / contraction allowing portion 9 are plastically processed in 3, the expansion / contraction allowing portion 9 has an insufficient function of absorbing positional deviation, twisting and vibration.
