ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly includes a blade and a matable receptacle terminal and matable insulative housings in which the blade and receptacle are mounted. Both the blade and the receptacle terminals are centrally positioned so that orientation of the terminals is unnecessary and each terminal has a contact positioning section which conforms to the contour of a housing cavity. This contact positioning section is a box section with a centrally disposed flat blade extending from one rectangular contact positioning section and a spring receptacle extending the other. The blade terminal is formed by folding edge portions of a flat blank to form a dual thickness blade. The edge portions are juxtaposed when folded over flaps which initially comprise integral sections of the flat blank outboard of the edge portions of the blade.
