Abstract
A conductive terminal includes a first terminal and a second terminal stacked on the first terminal. The first terminal has a plurality of first contact portions at an end of the first terminal. A gap is formed between two adjacent first contact portions. The second terminal has a second contact portion at an end of the second terminal. At least a part of the second contact portion extends through the gap of the first terminal.
Claims19
A conductive terminal, comprising:
- a first terminal having a plurality of first contact portions at an end of the first terminal for establishing direct electrical contact with a mating member, a gap is formed between two adjacent first contact portions;
- and
- a second terminal stacked on the first terminal, the second terminal having a second contact portion at an end of the second terminal, at least a part of the second contact portion extends through the gap of the first terminal for establishing direct electrical contact with the mating member,
- wherein a pair of ends of each of a pair of adjacent first contact portions are connected by a connection portion, the connection portion abuts against an end of the second contact portion on a side of the second contact portion contacting the mating member.

- a first terminal having a first fixing portion fixed in the insulated body and a row of first elastic cantilevers at a first side of the first fixing portion, each first elastic cantilever having one of a plurality of first contact portions at a free end thereof;
- and
- a second terminal stacked on the first terminal having a second fixing portion fixed in the insulated body and a row of second elastic cantilevers at a first side of the second fixing portion, each second elastic cantilever having a second contact portion at a free end thereof, a gap is formed between two adjacent first contact portions, at least a part of the second contact portion extends through the gap of the first terminal.
3 more elements
A conductive terminal, comprising:
- a first terminal having a plurality of first contact portions at an end of the first terminal adapted to establish direct electrical contact with a mating member, a gap is formed between two adjacent first contact portions;
- and
- a second terminal stacked on the first terminal, the second terminal having a second contact portion at an end of the second terminal, the second contact portion having a protrusion extending through the gap of the first terminal in a direction toward an upper contact surface of the first contact portion for establishing direct electrical contact with the mating member, the second terminal and the first terminal are spaced apart from each other with the protrusion of the second contact portion flush with the upper contact surface of the first terminal.
