ABSTRACT:
A single piece electrical receptacle terminal comprises a pair of L-shaped contact arms disposed in opposed diagonal fashion for receiving a complementary pin terminal therein. A locking lance (52) is provided on a wall extension (50) that overlies a top wall (14) of the contact. The wall extension (40) is securely crimped to the top wall (14) in order to rigidify the box-shaped base section (8) of the contact. The provision of a locking lance (52) on the wall extension integral with the contact body ensures a single piece contact design requiring low material usage. The locking lance (52) is provided with the requisite flexibility by the double elasticity of the lance (52) itself and the adjacent support arms (58).
