ABSTRACT:
A low insertion-force electrical contact female terminal characterized in that a distal end portion of a flexible base plate portion is folded back to provide a resilient contact portion. A movable support member is mounted on the terminal body and moves in the longitudinal direction of the base plate portion to provide a force to the base plate portion. The flexible base plate portion flexes in response to the force and the integrally attached resilient contact portion also flexes to facilitate entry of a mating male electrical contact terminal. Once the female and male terminals have been connected, the movable support member can be moved again to provide a maximum force to maintain a strong connection.
