Abstract (en)
An electrical receptacle terminal (2) comprises a wire connection section (6) and a contact section (4). The wire connection section (6) is for crimping to a conducting wire by way of a crimp barrel (8) and strain relief crimp arms (10). The connection section (6) further comprises an attachment portion (14) for interference fit or laser weld connection to the contact section (4). The connection section material is chosen for optimal crimping to conducting wires, and the contact section (4) can be chosen as a resilient material for high contact pressure against a mating terminal and high strength of the locking lances (22). The two part terminal thus allows optimal choice of materials for the required functions of high contact pressure or good crimping qualities in a very compact, cost-effective design. <MATH>
