ABSTRACT:
A high contact force pin-receiving electrical terminal includes a channel-shaped base joined to a forward pin engaging structure with a generally box-shaped pin receiving region. The pin engaging structure has a pair of spaced apart beams extending forwardly of the base to generally define opposed sides of the box-shaped region with opposed pin contacting surfaces for slidably engaging an inserted pin terminal. A resilient beam support member extends between and mechanically interconnects the forward, free ends of the beams to generally define a third side of the box-shaped region. A shroud extends forwardly of the base about at least portions of the beams to protect the beams during handling.
