Elektrische Anschlussbuchse und Verfahren zur Herstellung derselben

摘要

A female electrical terminal element has means at one end for crimping a wire lead thereto and a second end in the form of a socket for receiving a male contact pin. The socket includes a cantilevered contact floor which is unitary with the socket and is formed by folding the cantilevered contact floor about a bight while maintaining support at the bight. A spring biased contact is disposed within the socket in opposed relation to the cantilevered contact floor for urging the male contact blade into abutment with the cantilevered contact floor. A method for forming a female electrical terminal component from a unitary blank utilizes folding a pair of side flanges to extend substantially normal with respect to a base portion to form a channel. A cantilevered contact floor is then folded about a bight, while in alignment with the channel and supported at the bight, to overlie the base portion. The side flanges are then bent so that free ends thereof overlie the contact portion in spaced relation with respect thereto to form the socket.
