Abstract

An electrical connector has a contact having redundant contact points for interconnection to an electrical pin terminal. The contact portion is defined by a base section of the terminal having upstanding wall sections defined by upstanding strap portions and an intermediate beam section. The intermediate beam section has a first constricted portion defining parallel and opposed constricted walls, where each constricted portion includes inwardly directed C-shaped projections defining internal contact surfaces for contact with a pin. The contact has an upstanding polarizing feature which is wider than the upstanding wall sections of the contact member. The corresponding housing includes a projection on the internal surface of the cavities which allows the polarizing feature of the contact to pass beneath, but which cannot allow improper loading of the terminals within the respective terminal receiving cavities.
