TERMINALS FOR AN ELECTRICAL SOCKET

摘要

A conductive terminal (1) used for an electrical socket comprises a retaining body (10) retained to a terminal hole (24) of the base of an electrical socket (2), a soldering portion (12) and a resilient arm (16) both extending from the retaining body. The retaining body is parallel to one lateral side of the base during insertion into the base. The resilient arm has a body portion (17) connected to one side (13) of the retaining body and a curved beam (18) conductively contacting with an upper printed circuit board. An angle (alpha) defined between the retaining body and the body portion of the resilient arm is an obtuse angle so that the curved beam extends substantively in a diagonal direction (W) of a corresponding terminal hole.
