ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector consists of a blade terminal and a formed metal receptacle having four independently acting resilient contact beams, housed within a rectangular hood or sleeve, which create four points of electrical contact between the blade and the body. The contact beams deflect and twist to absorb probing forces or blade removal torque, and additionally provide plural high pressure contacts which absorb mating blade angularity. The four points of contact are offset from each other, two on top of the blade and two underneath, providing a stable electrical connector between the blade and the receptacle to thereby eradicate concerns associated with fretting corrosion caused by unstable conditions often created by point or dimple contacts.
