ABSTRACT:
The present device provides a terminal mounted on the surface of a printed circuit board and, more particularly, to a terminal used for reliably contacting the electrodes of a battery. In a terminal comprising a housing and a plurality of spring contacts mounted in the housing, the curved parts of the spring sections of the spring contacts extend externally from one surface of the housing in different arrangement. Since the positions of the curved parts are different, the spring actions of the contacts against the contact target members are not localized. Even if the shape of the contact target members varies largely, these members can be held reliably.
