ABSTRACT:
An electrical terminal has two arms which define a receptacle for a pin or post. At least one of the arms comprises a web extending to the pin-receiving end of the receptacle and which has sidewalls extending from its marginal side edge portions. A slot extends inwardly in the web from the pin-receiving end of the receptacle and divides the web into two sections, each of which consists of one of the sidewalls and the portion of the web extending from the sidewall to the slot. The opposed internal surfaces of the sidewalls are spaced apart by a distance less than the width of the pin so that when the pin is inserted, the two sections are each deflected and bear against the pin with contact forces. Each of the sections is elastically deformed by planar deformation of the sections away from each other in the plane of the web and also by torsional deformation. The resultant contact forces exerted on the pin are produced by the two modes of deflection and relatively high contact forces are achieved as a result.
