(54) Connector terminal structure, connector and method of assembling connector


(57) A connector has a connector terminal structure that can improve reliability by preventing burrs from being formed that cause short-circuiting of connector terminals. This connector (100) has notch parts (114) that connect carriers (115) and contacts (110) and that serve as snapping parts for snapping the carriers (115), and the notch part (114) leaves unnotch in the center part in the plate width direction and provides V-shaped notches on both sides of this unnotch. The notches (114) are formed in edge parts in the plate width direction, and are horizontally symmetrical. Further, the notch parts (114) each formed with the notches and unnotch are formed on both surfaces of the front surface and back surface of a plate.
