Patent ID: 6866520

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 including a base for abutting against the corresponding terminal receiving cavity to achieve positioning, characterized in that: the base has two adjacent sidewalls that form an angle therebetween, a resilient arm extending from one edge of one of the sidewalls which is in a direction of extension of the terminal receiving cavity, the resilient arm being bent back to approach the other edge of the corresponding sidewall and to form a non-closed ring shape with the corresponding sidewall such that the resilient arm is formed with a first contact portion and a second contact portion, respectively, at two opposite ends that are farthest away from the corresponding sidewall in the direction of extension of the terminal receiving cavity; the first contact portion projecting from a plane in which the first face of the insulative housing lies, the second contact portion projecting from a plane in which the second face of the insulative housing lies, the first contact portion and the second contact portion electrically contacting the electronic component and the circuit board, respectively.
