When two elastic portions of the common press fit terminal are squeezed, the two elastic portions of the common press fit terminal are elastically contracted. The press fit terminal is successfully inserted into a through hole of a circuit board so as to realize that the press fit terminal is electrically connected with the circuit board. The common press fit terminal has following characteristics. The common press fit terminal is conveniently assembled with the circuit board. The common press fit terminal is needless of a soldering requirement. The common press fit terminal has a detachable and changeable performance. The common press fit terminal is able to be matched with a smaller conductive insertion hole of the circuit board. Thus the common press fit terminal is widely used.


A conventional press fit terminal includes an elastic portion, an insertion end and a wiring end extended from two opposite ends of the elastic portion, respectively.

A press fit terminal inserted into a through hole of a circuit board, comprising: an assembling portion corresponding to the through hole, the assembling portion having two side walls and a connecting portion, the two side walls being disposed to two opposite sides of the assembling portion, respectively, each side wall having an outer surface and an inner surface, the two outer surfaces of the two side walls being shown as two arc shapes, the two inner surfaces of the two side walls being shown as two curve surfaces, the inner surface of each side wall having two first curve surfaces and two second curve surfaces, an upper portion of an upper end and a lower portion of a lower end of the inner surface of each side wall being curved outward to form two first curve surfaces, respectively, two inner ends of the two first curve surfaces being gradually curved inward and towards each other to form two second curve surfaces, the connecting portion being disposed in a middle of the assembling portion, the connecting portion being connected between the two side walls, the connecting portion having two bending portions, a junction between two inner sides of the two bending portions being recessed downward to form an indentation, a thickness of the junction between the two inner sides of the two bending portions being smaller than thicknesses of two outer sides of the two bending portions by the indentation;an insertion portion connected with two ends of the two side walls of the assembling portion; anda fastening portion connected with the other two ends of the two side walls of the assembling portion.
  • 19. The press fit terminal as claimed in claim 18, wherein when the assembling portion is inserted into the through hole, the assembling portion is cooperated with the through hole, and the assembling portion is interfered with the through hole, the two outer surfaces of the two side walls are tightly attached to an interior surface of an inner wall of the through hole.
