Figure 10 A top view of the housing 2 provided in one embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0044] The utility model provides an embodiment provides a kind of connector terminal 1, the plug-in end of the connector terminal 1 is equipped with first plug-in part 11 and second plug-in part 12, the first plug-in part 11 and the second plug-in part 12 are connected head to tail, the first plug-in part 11 is bent and protrudes upwards or the second plug-in part 12 is bent and protrudes downwards, to make the first plug-in part 11 and the second plug-in part 12 exist height difference in up-down direction.

[0045] The plug-in end of the above-mentioned connector terminal 1 is equipped with first plug-in part 11 and second plug-in part 12, and because it is bent and protrudes upwards by first plug-in part 11 or bent and protrudes downwards by second plug-in part 12, the first plug-in part 11 and the second plug-in part 12 exist height difference in up-down direction, when the plug-in end of connector terminal 1 is inserted into the jack in circuit board, first plug-in part 11 or second plug-in part 12 will form the elastic force in up-down direction, to increase the abutting force of connector terminal 1 and the inner wall of jack, so that the connector is stably inserted on a circuit board by connector terminal 1.

[0046] It needs to be explained that up-down direction refers to the up-down direction as shown in Figures 2-5 .

[0047] Referring to Figures 2-5 , further, the first plug-in part 11 is bent and protrudes upwards, and the second plug-in part 12 is bent and protrudes downwards. Thus, by the bending of first plug-in part 11 and second plug-in part 12, when the plug-in end of connector terminal 1 is inserted into the jack in circuit board, first plug-in part 11 and second plug-in part 12 will form the elastic force in up-down direction, further increase the abutting force of connector terminal 1 and the inner wall of jack, so that the fixation of connector is more stable.

[0048] As an optional scheme, the height of the first plug-in part 11 bent and protruding upwards is equal to the height of the second plug-in part 12 bent and protruding downwards. Thus, when the plug-in end of connector terminal 1 is inserted into the jack in circuit board, the elastic force formed by first plug-in part 11 and second plug-in part 12 is equivalent, to prevent the connector from tilting to one side.

[0049] Referring to Figures 2-5Further, the connector terminal 1 comprises a terminal head, a terminal body 13, a first insertion part 11 and a second insertion part 12, both ends of the first insertion part 11 and the second insertion part 12 are connected with the terminal head and the terminal body 13 respectively, and the end of the first insertion part 11 close to the terminal head abuts against the end of the second insertion part 12 close to the terminal head and / or the end of the first insertion part 11 close to the terminal body 13 abuts against the end of the second insertion part 12 close to the terminal body 13. In this way, when the insertion end of the connector terminal 1 is inserted into the insertion hole of the circuit board, there is a certain abutting force between the first insertion part 11 and the second insertion part 12, which avoids the deformation of the first insertion part 11 or the second insertion part 12 in the left-right direction, thereby affecting the deformation in the up-down direction. Therefore, the first insertion part 11 and the second insertion part 12 are limited in the left-right direction by each other, so as not to affect the deformation of the first insertion part 11 and the second insertion part 12 in the up-down direction.

[0050] With reference to Figures 4-7 Further, when the connector terminal 1 is projected on the first plane and the second plane, the first insertion part 11 and the second insertion part 12 are mirror-imaged with each other, the first plane is the plane where the up-down direction and the front-rear direction are located, and the second plane is the plane where the front-rear direction and the left-right direction are located. The connector terminal 1 has the function of propagating electrical signals, and through the above arrangement, the electrical signal difference between the first insertion part 11 and the second insertion part 12 can be avoided, and the stability of signal propagation can be ensured.

[0051] With reference to Figures 6-7 Further, when the connector terminal 1 is projected on the second plane, there is no gap between the first insertion part 11 and the second insertion part 12. In this way, when the insertion end of the connector terminal 1 is inserted into the insertion hole of the circuit board, the first insertion part 11 and the second insertion part 12 are deformed in the up-down direction, and they will not interfere with each other, preventing the deformation caused by interference from being too small to provide sufficient elastic force to support the stability of the connector.

[0052] It should be noted that the second plane is the plane where the front-rear direction and the left-right direction are located.

[0053] In an optional scheme, the side surface of the first insertion part 11 close to the second insertion part 12 is a vertical plane, and the side surface of the second insertion part 12 close to the first insertion part 11 is also a vertical plane.

[0054] With reference to Figures 6-7Further, the left side of the first insertion part 11 is an arc protruding to the left and / or the right side of the second insertion part 12 is an arc protruding to the right when the connector terminal 1 is projected on a second plane, and the second plane is a plane where the front-rear direction and the left-right direction are located. In this way, the thickness of the first insertion part 11 and the second insertion part 12 in the left-right direction is maximized, further ensuring that no deformation in the left-right direction occurs, and the volume of the terminal body and the terminal head is not affected, thereby saving costs as much as possible.
