Patent attributes
An electrical connector and a terminal thereof are disclosed. The terminal includes a base for being retained in an accommodating hole of an insulating body, a contact arm formed by bending and extending upward from the base for abutting a chip module, a conducting portion formed by extending from the base for being conductively connected with a circuit board, and a strip connecting portion for being connected with a strip. A plate surface of the strip connecting portion is attached to a plate surface of the contact arm. Since the plate surface of the strip connecting portion is attached to the plate surface of the contact arm, a width of the terminal is not increased, thereby facilitating intensive arrangement of the terminals, reducing a gap between the strip connecting portion and the plate surface of the contact arm, and preventing from the wooden pile effect of the strip connecting portion.
