Patent ID: 7318734

Claim:
A switching terminal assembly comprising: a first terminal defining a main plane and having an elongated first base section with thereof a first retaining section at a first root region and a first contact section at a tip region wherein said first contact section essentially extends in a transverse direction with regard to a longitudinal direction of the first terminal; a second terminal for electrically connecting with the first terminal, being substantially parallel to the first terminal from an elevational view, said second terminal including a second retaining section at thereof a second root region, said second retaining section being coplanar with the first retaining section, an elongated transfiguration section connected to the second retaining section, and a pressing portion at a distal end of the second terminal, a tip section of the pressing portion being essentially located at a same level with the first contact section, said pressing portion being offset from said main plane from a side view, wherein a cutout is formed in an inner edge of said second terminal, facing the first terminal, portions of said second terminal around said cutout experience deformation due to rotation of said second terminal about said cutout so as to allow the tip section of the pressing portion and the first contact section to be overlapped with each other from the elevational view.
