ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly includes an elongated, electrically conductive female terminal formed from metal wherein the female terminal comprises a front end shaped to receive, in electrical connection therewith, a male terminal, said front end including a plurality of walls defining a male terminal-receiving opening, including a first wall portion defining a first slit therein and a second wall portion defining a second slit therein, said slits extending toward a rear end of the female terminal to provide resiliency to said wall portions for expansion of said opening when a male terminal is received in said male terminal-receiving opening. The first slit extends a greater distance toward the rear end than the second slit so that the first wall portion has a greater resiliency than the second wall portion. The male terminal includes a front end cooperatively shaped to fit within the male terminal-receiving opening of the female terminal and has opposed walls shaped for relatively high pressure electrical contact against the lateral projections of said female terminal.
