ABSTRACT:
A tab receptacle terminal fabricated by bending a single sheet of electrically conductive material. The receptacle terminal includes a receptacle box having at one end an opening through which a male terminal can be inserted. A spring is formed in the top of the box so as to extend substantially across the length of the top between the ends of the box. The spring projects interiorly of the box toward its bottom for engagement with an inserted male terminal. Portions of the spring define a leading surface and a trailing surface with the leading surface defining an angle with respect to the top which is greater than an angle defined between the top and the trailing surface. A pair of closed slots extending lengthwise along the top adjacent the juncture of the top with the sides to define the spring.
