ABSTRACT:
An electrical terminal is interposed between first and second opposing conductive surfaces. The terminal includes an intermediate support portion and first and second spring contact portions projecting from the intermediate support portion for respectively engaging the first and second opposing conductive surfaces. Complementary interengaging latches are provided between at least one of the first and second spring contact portions and the intermediate portion for holding the one spring contact portion out of engagement with the respective conductive surface. The electrical terminal is disclosed mounted within a connector housing by a floating mount to afford limited movement of the terminal relative to the connector housing.
