ABSTRACT:
This invention provides an improved terminal and a connector using the terminal. The connector includes an insulating housing and at least one conductive terminal. The insulating housing has an insert end, a connecting end opposite to the insert end, and at least one terminal passage extending through the insert end and the connecting end. The conductive terminal is received correspondingly in the terminal passage of the insulating housing, and has a securing portion that generates interference positioning with the insulating housing, a coupling portion connected to the securing portion and located proximate to the connecting end of the insulating housing, and at least two contact portions connected to the securing portion and located proximate to the insert end of the insulating housing such that the coupling portion connects electrically with an end portion of a corresponding lead wire, and the contact portions contact electrically corresponding terminals of a matching electrical connector. By forming more than one contact portion on the conductive terminal, signals of equivalent voltage can be provided to the corresponding terminals of the matching electrical connector to thereby enhance assembly efficiency and signal transmission stability.
