Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0308068A1] A low wear contact system, which allow for numerous insertions and withdrawals, comprises a female terminal (4) which has resilient members (16,18) having contact sections (30) provided proximate an end thereof. Wing means (36) are provided at the free end of the resilient members (16,18), such that as the terminal (4) is mated with the matable terminal (2), the wing means cooperate with the terminal (2) to force the resilient members to move apart. This motion insures that contact sections (30) of the resilient members will not slidably engage the contact areas of the matable terminal (2) as insertion occurs, thereby insuring that only minimal wear is effected on the contact areas of the terminals.
