Abstract:
A connecting terminal, comprising:a retaining section for attaching to a substrate and having a first curved joint extending from an end thereof;a first supporting portion extending from said first curved joint and forming a second curved joint thereof;a spring member extending from said second curved portion, and forming a biasing end at an end thereof; anda biasing tab extending downward and outward from said biasing end and dimensioned to be adapted to be engaged with the first supporting portion when the terminal is fully deflected, whereby when a battery initially contacts the biasing end, the biasing end rotates about the second curved portion wherein the biasing tab does not contact with the first supporting portion and the second curved portion is spaced above the retaining section; whereby when said battery continuously moves with regard to the biasing end, the biasing tab contacts the first supporting portion and the second curved joint contacts the retaining section.
