ABSTRACT:
Hermaphroditic electrical terminals positioned within hermaphroditic insulative housings are suitable for electrical power distribution. Each terminal has an inclined contact arm opposed to a generally flat contact arm. Both contact arms are longitudinally coined. Each generally flat contact arm is sandwiched between the two arms of the other terminal when the two terminals are mated. The convex coined surfaces on the inclined arms engage concave coined surfaces on the generally flat contact of the other terminal to maintain the line contact between convex coined surfaces on the generally flat contact arms in static equilibrium.
