ABSTRACT:
Electrical terminals having the same shape are provided and which can be integrated. Two latch flanges 7 are provided projecting in symmetrical positions on the circumference of an eye-shaped connection region 5, and hook portions 10 into which the companion latch flanges 7 enter are formed in positions adjacent to the latch flanges 7 to the rear in the clockwise direction. Projections 12 are formed by shearing the surface of the connection region 5 upwards, inwards from the latch flanges 7, and to the front of these are formed lock holes into which the companion projections 12 fit. The connection region 5 of one terminal 1 is laid over the top surface of the connection region 5 of another terminal 1 concentrically, then the upper terminal is turned clockwise, whereupon the latch flanges 7 engage into the companion hooks 10; the projection 12 of the lower terminal 1 fits in the companion lock hole 13 so that the two terminals 1 are integrated.
