1. A terminal adapted to be connected to a printed circuit board by sandwiching said printed circuit board therebetween at upper and lower surfaces of said printed circuit board, comprising: a first contact part making contact with a first contact area formed at an upper surface of said printed circuit board; and a second contact part making contact with a second contact area formed at a lower surface of said printed circuit board, said second contact part being in facing relation with said first contact part, said first contact part comprising a resilient contact piece making contact with said first contact area, and a support part for supporting said contact piece, said contact piece having a width smaller than a width of said support part, and said second contact part having a width smaller than a width of said support part, said contact piece having a length greater than a length of said second contact part, said lengths being measured in a direction perpendicular to a plane defined by said printed circuit board.
2. The terminal as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said contact piece has a width equal to a width of said second contact part.
3. The terminal as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said second contact part has a width smaller than a difference between a width of said support part and a width of said contact piece.
4. The terminal as set forth in claim 3 , wherein said contact piece has a width equal to a width of said second contact part.
5. The terminal as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said second contact part comprises a plurality of plates layered in a plane perpendicular to said printed circuit board.
6. The terminal as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said contact piece is V-shaped, projecting towards said second contact part.
7. The terminal as set forth in claim 6 , further comprising a subsidiary spring situated inside of said contact piece for actuating said contact piece towards said second contact part.
8. The terminal as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said second contact part includes at least one contact having an upper surface having a semi-circular cross-section.
9. The terminal as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising a cover covering said first and second contact parts therewith.
10. The terminal as set forth in claim 9 , wherein said cover makes surface-contact at least with opposite side surfaces of said second contact part.
11. The terminal as set forth in claim 9 , wherein said cover includes a first cover portion covering said support part of said first contact part therewith, and a second cover portion covering said second contact part therewith, said second cover portion has a width smaller than a width of said first cover portion, and a portion of said cover covering said contact piece has a width equal to a width of said second cover portion.
12. The terminal as set forth in claim 9 , wherein said cover includes a first cover portion covering said support part of said first contact part therewith, and a second cover portion covering said second contact part therewith, said second cover portion has a width smaller than a width of said first cover portion, and said second covering portion has a width smaller than a difference between a width of said first cover portion and a width of a portion of said cover covering said contact piece.
13. The terminal as set forth in claim 12 , wherein said portion of said cover covering said contact piece has a width equal to a width of said second cover portion.
14. The terminal as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising a cable compressive section in which a cable is held in a compressed condition in a width-wise direction of said support part.
15. A connector comprising: a terminal as set forth in claim 1 ; and a housing including therein a plurality of said terminals.
