Abstract
A terminal, adapted for electrically connecting an IC package and a printed circuit board, comprises: a base, a first elastic arm and a second elastic arm. The first elastic arm and the second elastic arm laterally and upwardly extend from a top and a bottom of the base, respectively. Each of the elastic arms has a contact tip on a free end thereof, and each of the two contact tips defines a gap to divide the contact tip into two contacting segments. After the terminal is punched from a metal piece, the gap is inwardly pressed on two sides thereof to have a narrow part between the contacting segments, so a width of the contact tip is reduce.
