Abstract (en)

An improved receptacle terminal (1) includes crimping sections (4, 5) to firmly hold an insulated wire (2) at one end of the terminal and two female terminal portions (8a, 8b) arranged laterally side by side adapted to receive a mating terminal tab (3) at the other end of the terminal. Each female terminal portion (8a, 8b) includes a rising side wall (10) integrally connected to a common base (12) and a curved top wall integrally connected to the rising side wall, and including a descending free end (10) curved toward the rising side wall. The curved shape of each of the free ends has the effect of suppressing the outward deflection of the female terminal portions (8a, 8b) upon insertion of the mating terminal tab (3) into the receptacle terminal. <IMAGE>
