Abstract
A contact terminal of an electronic device includes: a fixing member; a contact member extending from the fixing member and a limiting member and extending from the fixing member where one end portion of the limiting member restrains one end portion of the contact member, wherein the contact terminal provides an elastic force upon the contact member in a direction away from the fixing member, and a range where the contact member moves away from the fixing member is limited since the end portion of the limiting member restrains the end portion of the contact member. The disclosed contact terminal can be directly mounted on a circuit board by using a surface mounting device (SMD) process, thereby reducing production costs and interconnection loss.
