<p>A female terminal assembly (10) includes a core terminal part (12) and a generally U-shaped clip part (14). The core terminal part (12) is fabricated from an electrically-conductive material and includes a generally U-shaped channel member (16). The generally-U-shaped channel member (16) defines a generally U-shaped channel (18) extending therethough and an opening into the generally U-shaped channel (18) by a pair of side members (16b, 16c) interconnected together by a base member (16a). The generally U-shaped clip part (14) is fabricated from a stiff yet resilient material and includes a generally U-shaped clip part channel member (22) defining a generally U-shaped clip part channel (24). The generally U-shaped clip part (14) is sized to substantially cover the generally U-shaped channel member (16) and is operative to apply opposing compression forces to generally the pair of side members (16b, 16c) of the U-shaped channel member (16) urging the pair of side members (16b, 16c) towards each other and into the generally U-shaped channel (18).</p>
