ABSTRACT:
An electrical receptacle terminal comprising a frame, and a leaf spring. The frame has a receptacle section for a male terminal. The receptacle section has a general shell configuration with one side of the shell having a seam therein. The seam is located to section the side of the receptacle section into two cantilevered side sections with each side section being cantilevered from an opposite wall of the receptacle section parallel to the seam. The leaf spring is movably captured within the receptacle. The leaf spring is biased against the shell of the receptacle section with opposite ends of the leaf spring contacting the side of the shell. The leaf spring has two pairs of support surfaces. One pair of the support surfaces is located at each of the opposite ends of the leaf spring. One support surface of each pair of support surfaces contacts a corresponding one of the cantilevered side sections adjacent the wall of the receptacle section from which the side section cantilevers so that when the male terminal is inserted into the receptacle section, the leaf spring is urged against the shell without substantially spreading the seam.
