Claim:
A terminal structure of a ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) electrical connector, comprising: a U-shaped main body having two side plate surfaces facing each other with a gap formed therebetween, and adjacent surfaces adjacent to each of the side plate surfaces, wherein each of the side plate surfaces is larger than each of the adjacent surfaces adjacent to the side plate surface, and each of the side plate surfaces has a short side and a long side, which is longer than the short side and extends in a vertical direction; two first plates disposed at a top front section of the U-shaped main body, wherein the two first plates are entirely higher than the U-shaped main body with respect to the vertical direction, the two first plates face each other with a first gap formed between middles of the first, and each of the first plates has a front side, a rear side, a top side and a bottom side; and two second plates disposed at a top rear section of the U-shaped main body, wherein the two second plates are entirely higher than the U-shaped main body with respect to the vertical direction, each of the second plates has a front side a rear side, a top side and a bottom side, the bottom sides and the rear sides of the second plates are connected to the U-shaped main body, the two second plates face each other with a second gap formed between middles of the second plates, the second gap is smaller than the first gap, the front sides and the bottom sides of the first plates are connected to the U-shaped main body, the rear sides of the first plates are closer to the second plates than the front sides of the first plates, and the front sides of the second plates are closer to the first plates than the rear sides of the second plates.
