Vorrichtung zum Montieren eines Anschlusselements in einem elektrischen Steckverbinder.

摘要

Disclosed is an improved electrical connector terminal mount which has an engagement piece (16) integrally formed in the terminal base. The engagement piece functions to fix the terminal (7) in an associated terminal slot (4). The engagement piece (16) is a metal strip cut away from the base of the terminal in the form of flattened "V"-shaped cantilever arm. The metal strip consists of a first section (17) bent outward on one side of the base of the terminal and a second section (18) integrally connected to and extending inward from the end of the first section (17) toward the other side of the base of the terminal ending in a free end. An engagement slot (19) perpendicular to the terminal slot (4) is formed within which the engagement piece fits, thereby enabling the terminal to fixedly lie along the center line of the terminal slot and to prevent the vertical movement of the terminal out of the terminal slot.
