Patent ID: 7422493

Claim:
A terminal for an electrical connector, the terminal comprising a soldering portion; a body portion formed on the soldering portion; a resilient arm portion being flexible, being opposite to the soldering portion, formed on and protruding longitudinally from the body portion, inclined relative to the body portion, being capable of pivoting and having a proximal end connected with the body portion; a distal contacting portion being opposite to the proximal end and having a connected end connected with the resilient arm portion; and a free end being opposite to the connected end; and a distal section formed adjacent to the free end of the distal contacting portion at an interval from the proximal end; a first fulcrum defined between the body portion and the resilient arm portion and allowing the resilient arm portion to pivot around the first fulcrum; and a pivot boss serving as a second fulcrum, formed on and protruding from the resilient arm portion between the proximal end and the distal contacting portion, being adjacent to the distal section and selectively pivoting the distal section.
