Abstract (en)

A press-fit type connector terminal (600) is comprised of a single bent metal plate (610) having elasticity. The connector terminal (600) comprises a pin section (611) having a U-shaped or quadrangular cross-section, and a contact section (614) situated at a front end of the pin section (611). At least one slit (624) is formed at a part of the contact section (614), and extends substantially parallel to an imaginary center line (614c) of the contact section (614), the imaginary center line (614c) extending parallel to a longitudinal axis of the pin section (611). The contact section (614) is in the form of a barrel or a spindle and includes at least one contact piece (613) such that the contact piece (613) surrounds the imaginary center line (614c). The contact section (614) has a maximum diameter at a center in a length-wise direction thereof, and is resiliently deformed when being inserted into a through-hole of a printed circuit board, making contact at a portion of the maximum diameter with an inner surface of the through-hole.
