Connecting terminal having enhanced biasing force

摘要

A connecting terminal for use with a battery connector comprises a retaining section for attaching to a substrate. A first curved portion extends from the retaining section at a free end thereof. A first supporting portion extends from the first curved portion at a free end thereof. A second curved portion is formed at a free end of the first supporting portion, and a second supporting portion extends from the second curved portion. The second supporting portion forms a biasing end at an end thereof, and at least a reinforced rib is formed on one of the first and second curved portions thereby increasing the modulus of elasticity of the first curved portion.
