FEMALE ELECTRICAL CONTACT TERMINAL WITH CONTROLLED CONTACT PRESSURE

摘要

Female electrical contact terminal obtained from a single electrically conducting metal sheet and having a rear part enabling it to be connected to an electrical conductor and a front part in the form of a cage consist- ing of an end, of two side walls (26), which are provided with means (46) for guiding a male contact (12) during its insertion and with means (50) for fixing this cage in connection housings, in which one of the side walls has deformations which act alternately on the opposite surfaces of the contact blade (29) which is associated with the wall so as continuously to control the contact pressure exerted by the blade on the surface of the male contact when it is inserted.
