ABSTRACT:
An electrical receptacle terminal having a longitudinal body for receiving a pin terminal includes a bifurcated beam spring forming two spring arms. The two spring arms act independently to urge an inserted pin terminal into good electrical contact with an opposing rib formed in an opposing wall. Each spring arm also includes a respective side flange which is contoured to engage the pin terminal in quadrature with the spring arms and rib. The pair of flanges have opposed faces for engaging opposite sides of the pin terminal. The spacing of the opposed faces of the flanges is normally less than the dimension of the pin terminal they engage such that they and the spring arms are resiliently spread by the pin terminal to thereby provide secure engagement. The four walls of the receptacle terminal are folded inward and rearward to form a continuous entry aperture and also to provide the spring arms.
