ELECTRICAL CONTACT

摘要

A terminal (2) comprises a body section (6) integrally formed with the contact section (8). The body section (6) has resilient locking lances (56) that are generally flush with side walls (20) of the body. The body section has a slight taper to enable a locking protrusion of a connector housing to pass over the attachment end (58) of the locking lance and engage the locking lance (56) at an intermediate position thereafter whereby the lance is biased into the body section. The smooth outer profile and substantially flush locking lance enables easy insertion and extraction of the contact through a seal, in addition to preventing entanglement of the lance with wires of a harness.
