Abstract
A terminal and a connector using the same are provided. The terminal includes a contact portion having a number of contact protrusions for making electrical contact with terminal portions of a cable; a support portion connected to the contact portion via a connection portion and supported on a fixing portion to prevent the contact portion from playing; and a mounting portion positioned on a side of the connection portion and electrically connected to an outside. The contact portion preferably has at least two contact protrusions. The terminal and connector using the same guarantee electrical connection between a flexible cable and a substrate. This improves the reliability in operation of a product using the connector.
