Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0218325A2] A unitary, stamped, metallic pin-receiving terminal (10) has a forward pin mating portion (16) joined to a rear portion (18). The portion (16) includes a body section with a pair of opposed inwardly-struck cantilever spring fingers (26) having a free end (28) which is downstream of the major pin-receiving gap (44). The spring fingers (26) are of the single-ended cantilever type, fixed at their forward end to a U-shaped member (36) having resiliently deflectable legs (38). The resilient bias force of the U-shaped member (36) is coupled to the spring bias force of the mating fingers (26). Torsional spring arms (40) connect the U-shaped member (36) to the rear portion (18), independently of the spring fingers (26) to provide an additional resilient force upon pin insertion.
