Abstract

The connection terminal of the present invention includes an insertion end portion, a tail portion, and a connection block. The insertion end portion includes at least two first terminals configured apart from each other. The first terminal includes a first pin and a second pin, and a length of the first pin is greater than the length of the second pin. Fixing ends of the first pin and the second pin contact each other and pass through the connection block to connect with the tail portion. Free ends of the first pin and the second pin are separated from each other, and are both bent and protruded toward an inner side of the insertion end portion, so as to form a first contact point and a second contact point at the free ends of the first pin and the second pin, respectively.
