Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0122780A1] Stamped and formed electrical terminal (2) has a conductor-receiving portion (4) at one end and a mating or contact portion (6) at the other end. A translation section (8) is provided between the conductor-receiving portion (4) and the contact portion (6), the transition section comprising flat plates (18, 18a) which extend from the aligned parallel plates (10, 10a) of the conductor-receiving portion and slope towards a medial plane which is parallel to and between the plates of the conductor-receiving portion. The contact portion (6) comprises first (32, 34) and second (32a, 34a) pairs of contact arms which extend from the flat inclined plates (18, 18a) of the transition section (8) and which are joined at their ends by U-shaped sections (24, 24a) which are in back-to-back relationship. A locking ear (42) secures the U-shaped sections to each other.
