Abstract
The terminal is used within a card edge connector. Each terminal includes a base, a connecting tail extending downwardly form the base, first and second extending sections commonly extending upwardly from the base while spaced from each other, and first and second contacting sections respectively extending from the corresponding extending sections and into the central slot wherein all the base, the extending sections, the contacting sections and the connecting section lie in a same plane. The first contacting section is lower than the second contacting section. The first extending section is closer to the central slot than the second extending section is, and has more deflected regions thereof than the second extending section for increasing the length and the corresponding resiliency thereof.
