ABSTRACT:
An improved structure of a connector terminal is disclosed. A material belt is punched with a bank of plural female terminals. One end of each female terminal is connected to the material belt, and the end of the female terminal connected to the material belt is punched to be as a slender waist portion. The middle portion of the female terminal is punched to form as a U shape middle portion, and an inserting end is formed on the outermost end of the female terminal. The inserting end has an arc shape cross section so that the gap in the female terminal is reduced. A flat portion is formed between the inserting end and the middle portion. Two sides of the flat portion are formed with reversing teeth so that it can be steadily arranged within a connector. Moreover, since the inserting end of the female terminal is an open arc, thus the whole structure can be plated. As a consequence, the contact area with a male terminal is enlarged, and thus bad contact is avoided. Another, since the inserting end has an arc shape, the expanding area is reduced. The distance between two female terminals is decreased and the cost thereof is therefore reduced.
