Patent ID: 6913469

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 sidewalls that are adjacent to each other at an angle, each of the sidewalls being formed with a first edge and a second edge which are opposite to each other and which are disposed in a direction of extension of the terminal receiving cavity, a first resilient arm extending from the first edge of one of the sidewalls, a second resilient arm extending from the first edge of the other one of the sidewalls such that the first resilient arm extends outwardly in a direction away from the corresponding sidewall to form a first contact portion at a free end, the second resilient arm being bent to pass between the two sidewalls to form a second contact portion at a free end, the first contact portion and the second contact portion being respectively disposed on two sides of the base; 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.
