A terminal comprises a terminal body and a leg extending downward from a first edge of the terminal body. An elastic arm extends upward from a second edge opposite to the first end, and a grasping plate is integrally formed at an end of the elastic arm. The grasping plate includes a curved surface for receiving a mating terminal with a low insertion force. The elastic arm has a section of reduced dimension to facilitate deformation of the grasping plate when contacting a mating terminal.
