Patent ID: 7798859

Claim:
An electrical terminal integrated with an insulating housing by means of insert molding, comprising: a base plate embedded in the insulating housing, a portion of the base plate being perpendicularly punched to divide the base plate into three parts designated as two first fastening plates and a second fastening plate which is connected between the two first fastening plates by two connecting portions, a bend being accordingly formed between the second fastening plate and the first fastening plates; a pair of buckling tabs oppositely extended outwardly from two opposite side edges of each of the first fastening plates and then bent towards a direction perpendicular to the corresponding first fastening plate to make free ends of the buckling tabs located at different planes from the first fastening plates, and the buckling tabs being further buckled and embedded in the insulating housing; a soldering portion being extended from one end of the base plate; and a contact portion being connected with the other end of the base plate, wherein during insert molding, a fluent plastic material flows around the base plate to make the first fastening plates, the second fastening plate and the connecting portions fully and firmly wrapped with the fluent plastic material due to the bend between the second fastening plate and the first fastening plates so as to form a firm integration between the electrical terminal and the insulating housing.
