Electrical terminal

1. An electrical terminal received in an insulative housing, comprising:

a main portion;

a first contacting portion; a second contacting portion;

wherein the first contacting portion comprises a flexible arm and at least one inflexible arm, the flexible arm is flexible along an up-to-down direction, and the inflexible arm hard to flex along the up-to-down direction, the flexible arm defines a flexible contacting portion, and the inflexible arm defines an inflexible contacting portion, the flexible contacting portion is higher than the inflexible contacting portion along the up-to-down direction, the flexible contacting portion and the inflexible contacting portion are both connected to a same corresponding electrical contacting portion;

said insulative housing defining a plurality of holes, the main portion of the terminal being fixed in the hole, and the first and second contacting portion extending outward from the insulative housing;

wherein the first contacting portion comprises a pair of inflexible arms, and there is a pair of inflexible arms arranged on opposite sides of the flexible arm;

wherein the inflexible arms and the flexible arm extend angularly and upwardly at same direction from a same end of the main portion and the second contacting portion extended angularly and downwardly from the other end of the main body;

wherein the first contacting portion is used to contact to a CPU, and the second contacting portion is used to connect to a PCB; and

wherein when the CPU is assembled to the terminal, the CPU presses the flexible contacting portion of the first contacting portion downwardly along the up-to-down direction, until the CPU engages with the inflexible contacting portion.

2. The electrical terminal as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the insulative housing is rectangular, the plurality of holes perforate the insulative housing from an upper surface thereof to a lower surface thereof and are arranged in an array, and the first and second contacting portions extend outside of opposite ends of the hole.

3. The electrical terminal as claimed in claim 1 , wherein when the flexible contacting portion is being pressed downwardly along the up-to-down direction, the flexible contacting portion is sliding on the CPU, and the flexible contacting portion defines an arc outer surface to facilitate the flexible contacting portion to slide.

4. An electrical connector comprising:

an insulative housing defining a plurality of passageways therein; a plurality of contacts disposed in the corresponding passageways, respectively, each of said contacts defining a planar main portion having retention section on two sides thereof, a flexible arm extending angularly and upwardly from an upper end of the main portion, a contacting portion extending angularly and downwardly from a lower end of the main portion, said flexible arm defining a contact tip at a free end and a deflection joint closer to the main portion, the flexible arm being downwardly deflected about the deflection joint when the contact tip is downwardly pressed, a pair of steady arms located by two sides of the flexible arm and extending angularly and upwardly from two side edge of one of the flexible arm and the main portion below said deflection joint, so as to guidably protect the downward movement of the contact tip therebetween;

wherein each of said steady arms essentially extends in a vertical plane;

wherein each of said steady arms extends from the flexible arm;

wherein the contact tip is higher than a tip of the steady arm; and

wherein both the contact tip and the tip of the steady arm are higher than a top surface of the housing when the contact is in a relaxed manner.

5. The electrical connector as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the steady arm and the flexible arm are both downwardly in a sequential manner that the flexible arm is initially deflected about the deflection joint when the contact tip is downwardly pressed while successively about a joint between the main portion and the flexible arm when the tip of the steady arm is joined to be downwardly pressed under condition that both the flexible arm and the steady arm are downwardly moved commonly and synchronically.
