ABSTRACT:
The terminal (2) comprises a stamped and formed metal pin socket (6) comprising a base (12) from which extend two contact springs (14) each comprising an L-cross section forward portion having identical parts (18 and 20) which extend at right angles to each other. Back from contact bosses (22) of the springs (14), each spring (14) has a longitudinal slot (28) which enables the parts (18 and 20) of each spring (14) to splay resiliently apart from each other when a square cross section pin (P) is inserted into the socket (6), without the pin insertion force or the contact force exerted by the contact bosses (22) against the pin (P), being excessive. These forces can be predetermined by suitably dimensioning the slots (28).
