Abstract
A connector terminal includes a bottom plate and a pair of elastic arms. The bottom plate has two opposite sides in a width direction of the bottom plate. The pair of elastic arms are each connected to one side of the bottom plate. The connector terminal is an integral piece. The pair of elastic arms clamp a first busbar inserted between them. The bottom plate electrically contacts a second busbar.
