ABSTRACT:
A receptacle terminal comprises a conductor connection section and a contact section for receiving a male tab terminal therein. Reversely bent pairs of contact arms extending from forward and rearward ends of a cover wall are provided. Free ends of the contact arms rest upon a ledge struck from side walls of the contact section for prestressing the contact beams. The latter increases the contact pressure of contacts against the mating male tab terminal whilst nevertheless reducing the mating insertion forces thereof. The reversely bent-in and opposed contact arms provide for a compact design with a large number of contact points thereby enabling passage of high electrical currents.
