Claim:
A contacting terminal for electrically connecting with an electrical element, comprising: a soldering plate; a pair of facing confining plates extended upward from two opposite side edges of the soldering plate; an upward flexible arm extended from one end of the soldering plate; and a contacting portion extended from a free end of the flexible arm and beyond tops of the confining plates, a lower end of the contacting portion forming a resisting portion, lower portions of rears of the confining plates extending rearward to form two extending plates, a top of one of the extending plates being extended and bent inward to form a supporting plate with a free end supported on the other extending plate for supporting the resisting portion; wherein when the contacting portion is elastically pressed downward by the electrical element to realize an electrical connection therebetween and restricted between the confining plates, tops of the confining plates are capable of stopping the electrical element from pressing the contacting portion downward excessively.
