ABSTRACT:
An elastic terminal provides multi-directional reacting forces for ensuring the contact reliability and uses a cheaper Cu alloy to reduce production costs. The elastic terminal is received in an electrical connector, and has a retaining portion, an elastic arm, and a contact portion. The retaining portion has a soldering leg extending downwardly and vertically therefrom, which is connected electrically to a cable. The elastic arm has a longwise curved portion which extends upwardly from one side of the retaining portion, and at least two transverse curved portions which are formed on one side of the longwise curved portion. The contact portion is formed on an end of the elastic arm and is exposed outside the slot of the electrical connector.
