ABSTRACT:
An electric connector arrangement for connecting two electric devices comprises a male terminal fixed to a first electric device and extending therefrom toward a second electric device. A circuit board is fixed to the second electric device and has an insertion opening and at least one slit. A female terminal receives the male terminal therein, the female terminal having a body portion adapted to be inserted into the insertion opening and comprising an elastic female contact for receiving the male terminal. At least one deformable connecting element extends away from a top portion of the body portion, each deformable element having a distal end tip extending below the body portion and adaptable to be inserted into one of the slits in the second electric device. As the female terminal approaches the insertion opening, each of the distal end tips are inserted into one of the slits, and as the female terminal is further forced into the insertion opening, each of deformable connecting element deforms into a U-shape without applying stress to the body portion.
