ABSTRACT:
A receptacle terminal has a receptacle portion including leaf spring means at a forward end of the receptacle portion that are inclined toward an upper wall and auxiliary spring means spaced rearwardly from the forward leaf spring means. Upon insertion of a tab portion of a male terminal into the receptacle portion the leaf spring means can engage the auxiliary leaf spring means or the bottom wall and the auxiliary leaf spring means can engage the bottom wall thereby preventing the leaf springs from deformation. Accordingly, a permanent set of the leaf springs cannot occur enabling the spring forces to remain constant which ensures optimal contact pressure on the tab portion realizing an effective electrical connection.
