ABSTRACT:
A male electrical terminal is stamped and formed from sheet metal material and includes a rear terminating portion and a front mating portion. The mating portion is formed by at least three forwardly extending cantilevered beams to allow inward flexing movement of the beams relative to each other. The beams are formed with inwardly tapered free ends positioned and configured relative to each other such that each inwardly tapered free end is engageable with an edge of at least another inwardly tapered free end when any beam is over-flexed inwardly to provide complementarily interengaging anti-overstress means between the beams.
