Abstract (en)

A female electrical terminal (1) comprises a conductive body (2) having a conductive part (4) able to be coupled to a male electrical terminal (10), along a coupling axis (X-X) and in a plug-on direction (A), clamping means (20) for clamping the conductive part (4) onto the male terminal (10), and lock means (30) for engaging an abutment surface (11) of the male terminal (10), when the female terminal (1) is plugged on the male terminal (10). The lock means (30) are connected to the clamping means (20) and can be driven from a locking position to an unlocking position by counteracting an elastic return force directed towards the locking position. In the locking position, the lock means (30) engage the abutment surface (11) to prevent displacement of the female terminal (1) along the coupling axis (X-X) in the direction opposite to the plug-on direction, whereas in the unlocking position, they disengage from the abutment surface (11) to allow displacement of the female terminal (1) along the coupling axis (X-X).
