ABSTRACT:
A compliant terminal comprises a pair of legs facing each other. Each of the legs is provided with an outwardly expanded portion in the intermediate portion. The expanded portions form an elastic contact portion for compressed fitting with a through hole. The leg portion is also provided with a pair of inward projections in the boundary region between the intermediate and free end portions. The inward projections of the two legs are substantially in contact. Therefore when the legs are inserted to the hole, the ends of legs outwardly swing about the contact point of the inward projections, and the compliant terminal is prevented from being withdrawn from the hole.
