Abstract: A connection terminal for use with a flat flexible connector comprises a base defining first and second sides. A pair of cantilevered arms extends forward from the base. Each arm forms a contact portion at a free end thereof. Characterized in that the contact portion has reduced thickness than the rest of the terminal.
