Abstract

A press fit terminal includes an assembling portion, an insertion portion and a fastening portion. The assembling portion has two side walls and a connecting portion. The two side walls are disposed to two opposite sides of the assembling portion, respectively. The connecting portion is disposed in a middle of the assembling portion. The connecting portion is connected between the two side walls. Each side wall has an outer surface and an inner surface. The two outer surfaces of the two side walls are shown as two arc shapes. The two inner surfaces of the two side walls are shown as two curve surfaces. The insertion portion is connected with two ends of the two side walls of the assembling portion. The fastening portion is connected with the other two ends of the two side walls of the assembling portion.
