Abstract

An electrical connector is provided and includes a conductive terminal having a first end with a top flat surface.

Claims (22)

1. An electrical connector, comprising:

a conductive terminal having

a first end with a top flat surface extending across a width of the first end and a first flat bottom surface disposed opposite the top flat surface,

a semi-annular shaped second end positioned opposite to the first end and including a conductive wire receiving passageway and a second flat bottom surface positioned opposite the first end and extending parallel with the first flat bottom surface,

a resilient cantilever having a base connected to the second end and extending toward the first end, and

an intermediate connecting portion connecting the first end and the second end and including a conductor core receiving groove.

2. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive terminal is a single piece of metal material.

3. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the resilient cantilever extends into the conductor core receiving groove.

4. The electrical connector according to claim 3 , wherein a width of the resilient cantilever gradually decreases from the base to a free end thereof.

5. The electrical connector according to claim 4 , wherein the resilient cantilever is integral with the second end.

6. An electrical connector, comprising:

a conductive terminal having

a first end with a top flat surface,

a semi-annular shaped second end having a flat bottom surface positioned opposite to the first end,

an intermediate connecting portion connecting the first end and the second end, the intermediate connecting portion including a conductor core receiving groove, and

a resilient cantilever having a base connected to the second end.

7. The electrical connector according to claim 6 , wherein the second end includes a conductive wire receiving passageway.

8. The electrical connector according to claim 6 , wherein the conductive terminal is a single piece of metal material.

9. The electrical connector according to claim 6 , wherein the resilient cantilever extends toward the first end.

10. The electrical connector according to claim 9 , wherein the resilient cantilever extends into the conductor core receiving groove.

11. The electrical connector according to claim 10 , wherein a width of the resilient cantilever gradually decreases from the base to a free end thereof.

12. The electrical connector according to claim 11 , wherein the resilient cantilever is integral with the second end.
