ABSTRACT:
An improved structure of a terminal includes a horseshoe-shaped contact portion with a smooth contact surface. The terminal is formed on a substrate by punching. It has a fixing portion on which a plurality of tenons are formed so as to be fixed in the housing of a connector. The lower end of the terminal is a pin portion bent to be orthogonal to the flat surface of the fixing portion. A raster spring with an upper protruded part is formed above the fixing portion. A horseshoe-shaped contact portion is connected to the upper protruded part of the raster spring. The contact portion has a smooth surface for providing high quality and low noise electrical contact.
