ABSTRACT:
A multi-contact electrical terminal includes a body member and attachment member made of a substantially resilient flexible electrically conductive material. The body member includes a pair of opposite contact walls defining a central passageway through the body member and providing respective pairs of spaced upper and lower opposed portions along opposite sides of the central passageway, and a pair of opposite support straps provided between and connected with one of the pairs of upper and lower opposed portions of the opposite contact walls. A male prong of an electrical plug is receivable through the central passageway of the body member. The upper and lower opposed portions of the opposite contact walls receive the male plug initially between the upper opposed portions and subsequently between the lower opposed portions such that a complete insertion of the male prong into the central passageway provides the male prong in electrical contact at the four separate spaced apart portions of the body member of the electrical terminal.
