Abstract
A conductive terminal is positioned in an insulative housing to constitute an electrical connector. The insulative housing is formed with a first face and a second face opposite to each other, and has a plurality of terminal receiving cavities extending through the first face and the second face. The conductive terminal includes a base for abutting against the corresponding terminal receiving cavity. The base has two adjacent sidewalls forming an angle therebetween. A resilient arm extends from one edge of one of the sidewalls in a direction of extension of the terminal receiving cavity. The resilient arm is bent back to approach the opposite other edge of the corresponding sidewall and forms a non-closed ring-shape with the corresponding sidewall. Two opposite ends of the resilient arm which are farthest away from the corresponding sidewall are respectively formed with a first contact portion and a second contact portion. The first contact portion and the second contact portion contact electrically and respectively an electronic component and a circuit board to enable signal transmission between the electronic component and the circuit board through the conductive terminal.
