ABSTRACT:
Electrical contact terminal comprises an elongated metal strip which has been folded along a medial transverse fold line to form two side-by-side arms. A wire-receiving slot is provided at the fold. The arms have parallel portions adjacent to the fold and converging portions extending from the parallel portions. Contact zones are provided on the ends of the converging portions. A brace extends between the arms and restrains movement of the arms away from each other. The location of the brace determines the contact force exerted on the complementary mating terminal device. The terminal is manufactured in strip form and in a condition such that the contact zones are spaced apart when the terminals are attached to the strip. The contact zones can therefore be plated with a conductive metal.
