Abstract:
A connector for connecting to a working element and a printed circuit board, comprising a plastic body having a plurality of terminal holes, and a plurality of terminals in the terminal holes to connect to contacts on said working element and said printed circuit board,wherein each of said terminals includes an upper elastic portion and a lower elastic portion both axially compressible in said terminal holes, said upper and said lower elastic portions of each said terminal are of two dimensions, and said elastic portions of each said terminal are two rhombic-shaped loops, andwherein said terminals are electrically connected to said contacts of said working element and of said printed circuit board without the need of tin soldering because two forward pressures are directly applied by said working element and said printed circuit board on said upper and said lower elastic portions of said terminals, respectively, when said working element and said printed circuit board are assembled to said plastic body of said connector.
