Abstract (en)

[origin: US4834681A] An electric contact terminal consists of a stamped and bent metal sheet part. It has a bottom and two sides connected to said bottom and extending laterally inwardly to constitute a ceiling whereby an elongated cage-like part is defined. Each of the sides has an internal wall laterally connected to an external wall in tight contact therewith by an 180 DEG bend. Each internal wall has a front cantilevered contact portion projecting forwardly in the direction of elongation, while each external wall has a front flap inwardly bent back about an edge orthogonal to the direction of elongation. Each flap retains a respective one of the cantilevered contact portions out of contact with the other contact portion.
