Conductive terminal and connector assembly

A connector assembly, comprising:

• a circuit board having a through hole and a plurality of solder pads on a surface of the circuit board;
• and
• a conductive terminal adapted to electrically connect a wire to the circuit board, the conductive terminal including:
• a base having a pair of opposing first edges, a pair of opposing second edges, and an insertion hole aligned with the through hole of the circuit board;
• a pair of mounting portions including a pair of solder portions extending outwardly from the first edges and parallel to the base, the solder portions each adapted to be soldered to one of the solder pads of the circuit board;
• a pair of clamping portions extending obliquely toward each other from the two second edges of the base, the clamping portions adapted to clamp a conductor of the wire inserted through the insertion hole and the through hole;
• and
• a pair of guiding portions extending upwardly obliquely toward each other from the first edges of the base.

A connector assembly, comprising:

• a circuit board comprising a first side and a second side opposite the first side, the circuit board having a through hole extending between the first side and the second side, and a plurality of solder pads on the first side of the circuit board;
• and
• a conductive terminal adapted to electrically connect a wire to the circuit board, the conductive terminal including:
• a base having a pair of opposing first edges, a pair of opposing second edges, and an insertion hole aligned with the through hole of the circuit board;
• a pair of mounting portions including a pair of solder portions extending outwardly from the first edges and parallel to the base, the solder portions each adapted to be soldered to one of the solder pads of the circuit board;
• a pair of guiding portions extending upwardly obliquely toward each other from the first edges of the base;
• and
• a pair of clamping portions extending obliquely toward each other from the two second edges of the base, the clamping portions adapted to clamp a conductor of the wire inserted through the insertion hole and the through hole,
• wherein the conductive terminal is arranged on the circuit board such that the pair of solder portions are positioned on the first side of the circuit board, and the base is positioned proximate the second side of the circuit board opposite the first side.
