ABSTRACT:
An electrical contact terminal of the type contained in a connector housing comprises a yoke portion having extending therefrom a contact arm and a spring arm. The contact arm has an electrical contact portion on one side thereof and a bearing portion on the other side which bears against a bearing portion on the spring arm. When the contact arm is flexed toward the spring arm by a mating part, such as a circuit board, the contact force is developed in the spring arm and the contact arm serves primarily as a conductor. The terminal is of the complanate type in that it is produced by stamping sheet metal without subsequent bending, so that all parts of the terminal lie in the plane of the sheet metal from which it was produced.
