ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a connector terminal and a method of producing the same. The terminal, even if small in size, has a large allowable maximum deflection, and is excellent in durability, and the terminal of a one-part type can be produced from a relatively inexpensive thin metal sheet, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost. More specifically, the terminal is formed from a single thin metal sheet, and has a receptive portion and a spring portion formed at a front portion of a base plate for engaging with a mating terminal, and a wire connecting portion formed at a rear portion of the base plate. The thickness of the spring portion is smaller than that of the remainder of the terminal. In a shaping step of a process including blanking and pressing, only the spring portion is rolled into a thickness smaller than that of the remainder.
