The resilient arms are formed on and protrude forward respectively from front ends of the connecting portions and each resilient arm has an extension section, a U-turn portion and a folding contacting section. The extension section is formed on and protrudes forward from the front end of one of the connecting portions. The U-turn portion is formed on the extension section. The folding contacting section is formed on and extends from the U-turn portion, is parallel to the other folding contacting section, and abuts an inside surface of the extension section. The terminal is structurally strong and durable.
