Abstract

See full text

An electrical connector includes a dielectric housing mounting a plurality of terminals. Each terminal includes a blade portion terminating in a distal contact end formed by dual spaced-apart cantilevered spring arms with mutually opposing contact portions defining a conductor-receiving mouth therebetween. The spring arms are cantilevered at opposite edges of the blade portion and are offset on opposite sides of the blade portion. A plurality of passages are formed in the housing and into which the blade portions of the terminals project. Each passage includes opposing side walls generally parallel to the blade portion of the respective terminal in the passage. Each side wall includes a laterally outwardly offset portion to accommodate one of the offset spring arms at the distal contact end of the terminal.
