Abstract
An asymmetrical contact terminal includes a root portion and at least one first branch and at least one second branch which are spaced apart. The first branch has a first arm portion and a first tip, and the second branch also has a second arm portion and a second tip. The first branch further has a protrusion selectively connects the second arm portion for deforming the force distribution and enhancing the engagement between the contact terminal and an associated housing. The instant disclosure also discloses a fabrication method for making the same.
