ABSTRACT:
An electrical female terminal of one piece construction comprises a contact portion at one end and an attachment portion at an opposite end for attaching the terminal to an electric cable. The contact portion includes a split socket and a pair of integrally attached, longitudinal contact arms that are disposed inside the split socket. The longitudinal contact arms have rearward abutting plates that have flanges that engage the inside surface of the socket to provide a solid anchor for the longitudinal contact arms to extend forwardly in cantilever fashion. The longitudinal contact arms have diverging medial portions and converging forward portions that provide deflectable contact fingers for engaging opposite sides of a pin terminal when it is inserted into the socket.
