ABSTRACT:
An improved metal terminal receptacle with stoppers for protecting an elastic tongue. The metal terminal receptacle includes a base plate; an insertion portion at an end of the base plate including the base plate, two side walls extending from the base plate, and an upper wall integrally formed with the side walls; a supporting portion for pinching a mated male terminal with an inner wall of the insertion portion and a U-shaped elastic tongue, where the elastic tongue extends from one of the side walls and is inserted into the insertion portion; a wire connecting portion at the other end of the base plate; and projections formed by embossing inwardly the opposing walls, adjacent the wall having the elastic tongue, of the insertion portion, wherein a straight-line cutout is provided in each of the opposing walls before the succeeding embossing work. The upper end faces of the projections acting as the stoppers for limiting the deflection of the elastic tongue within a predetermined elastic limit thereof.
