Patent ID: 6957964

Claim:
A conductive terminal, which is positioned in an insulative housing to be electrically connected to an electronic component and a circuit board, the insulative housing being formed with a first face and a second face which are opposite to each other, and having a plurality of terminal receiving cavities extending through the first face and the second face, each conductive terminal comprising: a base for abutting against the corresponding terminal receiving cavity to achieve positioning, the base having two spaced-apart opposite sidewalls, each of the sidewalls having a first edge and a second edge which are opposite to each other in a direction of extension of the terminal receiving cavity, a first resilient arm extending outwardly from the edge of one of the sidewalls in a direction away from the sidewall, a second resilient arm extending outwardly from the edge of one of the sidewalls in a direction away from the sidewall such that the first resilient arm forms a second contact portion at a free end and the second resilient arm forms a first contact portion at a free end; the first contact portion projecting outwardly of a plane in which the first face of the insulative housing lies, the second contact portion projecting outwardly of a plane in which the second face of the insulative housing lies, the first contact portion and the second contact portion contacting respectively and electrically the electronic component and the circuit board to enable signal transmission between the electronic component and the circuit board through the conductive terminal.
