Conductive terminal and electrical connector having the same

A conductive terminal, comprising:

• a base portion, wherein the base portion is a flat plate structure;
• an elastic arm formed by extending upward from an upper end of the base portion;
• and
• a conductive portion located below the base portion,
• wherein the elastic arm comprises a contact arm, a first arm and a second arm provided at an interval in a left-right direction, and a through slot formed between the first arm and the second arm, the through slot extends to the base portion, the first arm and the second arm are connected to the base portion, the first arm and the second arm are both located between the contact arm and the base portion, the contact arm has a contact portion, a maximum width of the second arm in the left-right direction is greater than a maximum width of the first arm in the left-right direction, a width of a connecting location of the second arm and the base portion in the left-right direction is greater than a width of a connecting location of the first arm and the base portion in the left-right direction, and a length of a shortest conductive path from the contact portion to the conductive portion through the first arm is shorter than a length of a shortest conductive path from the contact portion to the conductive portion through the second arm.

An electrical connector, comprising:

• an insulating body, having an upper surface and a lower surface provided opposite to each other along a vertical direction;
• and
• a plurality of conductive terminals, provided in the insulating body, wherein each of the conductive terminals has a base portion and an elastic arm formed by extending upward from an upper end of the base portion, and the base portion is a flat plate structure,
• wherein the elastic arm comprises a contact arm, a first arm and a second arm provided at an interval in a left-right direction, and a through slot formed between the first arm and the second arm, the through slot extends to the base portion, the first arm and the second arm are connected to the base portion, the first arm and the second arm are both located between the contact arm and the base portion, the contact arm has a contact portion, a maximum width of the second arm in the left-right direction is greater than a maximum width of the first arm in the left-right direction, a width of a connecting location of the second arm and the base portion in the left-right direction is greater than a width of a connecting location of the first arm and the base portion in the left-right direction, and a central line of the contact portion in the left-right direction and the connecting location of the second arm and the base portion are located at a left side and a right side of a central line of the base portion in the left-right direction.
