Abstract

An electric terminal particularly designed to establish circuit connection with a piezoelectric ceramic disc employed in a smoke detector alarm horn. The electric terminal comprises a pair of joined and spaced sidewalls disposed in a generally parallel relationship with respect to each other, a contact-beam support wall joining the pair of sidewalls, and a resilient, cantilevered contact beam having a first curved section fixed to the support wall and having a generally straight section formed with a pointed electrical contact adapted to engage the piezoelectric ceramic disc or other electrical load.
