Abstract:
1. A circuit board connector terminal comprising, an insertion portion, a body, and an electric contact portion; the insertion portion having resilient contact portions and leaf spring contact pieces, the contact portions being arranged at both sides of escape spaces formed through in a thickness direction of the insertion portion and resilient in a width direction of the insertion portion, the contact portions and the leaf spring contact pieces being connected electrically to conductive portions of walls of the through-hole, the insertion portion being force fitted into a through-hole of a circuit board at tip end of the terminal, the body being positioned between the insertion portion and the electric contact portion, the body having links adjacent to the electric contact portion and gradually becoming wider from the insertion portion to the electric contact portion, the electric contact portion being connected to a complementary terminal at the other end, wherein when the insertion portion is force fitted into a through-hole of a circuit board, the leaf spring contact pieces abut the walls of the through-hole, the spring force of which resiliently supports the terminal.
