Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3467949A1] A high-current electrical connector (10) includes a female electrical-terminal (14) and a contact-spring (32). The female electrical-terminal (14) is configured to receive a male electrical-terminal (16) and is formed of a single piece of electrically conductive material. The female electrical-terminal (14) has a first-sidewall (20) and a second-sidewall (22). The second-sidewall (22) defines a distal-end (26), a proximal-end (28), and a medial-zone (30). The first-sidewall (20) is opposite and parallel to the distal-end (26) of the second-sidewall (22). The contact-spring (32) is formed of a single piece of electrically conductive material disposed intermediate to the first-sidewall (20) and the second-sidewall (22). The contact-spring (32) defines a plurality of opposed-pair contact-beams (36). Each of the opposed-pair of contact-beams (36) have a plurality of outer-contact-points (38) and a plurality of inner-contact-points (42). The plurality of outer-contact-points (38) are in contact with the female electrical-terminal (14), and the plurality of inner-contact-points (42) contact opposed sides of the male electrical-terminal (16). Contact is formed between the contact-beam (36), the female electrical-terminal (14), and the male electrical-terminal (16) in at least four separate locations.
