ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a housing with terminal-receiving passages and female terminals therein. Each passage has a cross-section for receiving the terminal and cooperating therewith to prevent twisting of the terminal. The terminals each include an elongated planar body portion, a terminating portion extending rearwardly of the body portion and a contact portion extending forwardly of the body portion. The contact portion has a pair of laterally spaced-apart contact spring arms with mutually opposing contact portions defining a terminal-receiving mouth therebetween. The body portion includes a retention section having a pair of spaced-apart retention beams offset out of the plane of the body portion on opposite sides thereof.
