ABSTRACT:
A blade terminal has a forward contact portion comprising a pair of flat longitudinal juxtaposed blades and an enlarged channel shaped median portion of reduced width. A pair of longitudinal inclined latch tangs attached to the respective rearward edges of the blades are positioned adjacent the channel shaped median portion for protection. The lateral extensions of the side walls of the channel shaped median portion offer further protection and may serve as forward stops and/or secondary locks in conjunction with a lock bar. A modified terminal has the leading edges set at an angle to reduce mating forces.
