ABSTRACT:
A stamped and formed metal electrical terminal includes a male contact blade at one end for being received in a complementary female contact member. A conductor terminating portion is provided at an opposite end of the terminal, and an intermediate section joins the male contact blade and the conductor terminating portion. The male contact blade includes a pair of juxtaposed flat blade portions each being interconnected directly to the intermediate section by a respective connecting wall to establish direct electrical continuity between the blade portions and the intermediate section. At least one tab extends from an edge of at least one of the flat blade portions, and the tab is bent over the opposite side of the other flat blade portion to prevent the blade portions from separating.
