Abstract
A terminal comprises an insert sheet connecting part and a cable connecting part. The insert sheet connecting part defines a slot sized to receive an insert sheet. The slot is delimited by a bottom wall, a top wall and two side walls. The two side walls are formed by upwardly bent extensions of left and right sides of the bottom wall. The top wall defines two top wall portions formed by inwardly bent portions of the two side walls respectively. The top wall includes a protrusion extending toward the bottom wall, and a reinforcing rib extending from one side wall to the corresponding top wall portion formed by bending the one side wall.

A terminal, comprising:
- an insert sheet connecting part defining a slot sized to receive an insert sheet, the slot delimited by a bottom wall, a top wall and two side walls, the bottom wall is flat and includes a flat boss portion protruding toward the top wall and extending longitudinally along the bottom wall, the two side walls formed by upwardly bent extensions of left and right sides of the bottom wall, the top wall defining two top wall portions formed by inwardly bent portions of the two side walls respectively, the top wall including:
- a protrusion extending toward the bottom wall;
- and
- a reinforcing rib extending from one side wall to the corresponding top wall portion formed by bending the one side wall;
- a rib protruding toward the top wall and above the flat boss portion on either side of the flat boss portion, the rib extends longitudinally along the bottom wall;
- and
- a cable connecting part extending from the insert sheet connecting part.
