Combined terminal, connector and connector assembly

Abstract

A combined terminal includes a terminal having a first elastic arm formed at the front of the terminal, and a shell sleeved on the front of the terminal. A contact protrusion or a second elastic arm protruding toward the first elastic arm is formed on a top wall of the shell, and the contact protrusion or the second elastic arm is oppositely spaced from the first elastic arm to clamp a mating terminal inserted between the contact protrusion or the second elastic arm and the first elastic arm. A conductive property of a manufacturing material for the terminal is distinct to a conductive property of a manufacturing material for the shell, and a mechanical property of the manufacturing material for the shell is distinct to a mechanical property of the manufacturing material for the terminal.
