ABSTRACT:
Electrical terminals include torsion bar spring portions for maintaining ample contact forces in small sizes and with simple configurations. A male contact includes a contact portion connected by an axial torsion bar to a base portion. When the contact is mated with another contact, the contact portion is pivoted to apply a torque to the torsion bar. A female contact includes opposed and axially spaced contact portions separated by an axially extending torsion bar to which torque is applied when a mating pin contact displaces the contact portions in opposite arcuate directions.
