Electrical terminal for use with short circuit spring contacts.

摘要

An electrical terminal (2) comprises an outer back-up spring (6) and an inner contact body (4). The inner contact body is provided with resilient contacts (36) in its middle body section (14) that bias against a plated inner surface (86) of the back-up spring for electrical contact therewith. The back-up spring (6) has on an outer surface a gold plated band (82) that serves as a zone for electrical contact with a short circuit spring terminal. Reliable electrical contact is therefore made between a short circuit spring terminal and the inner contact body of this terminal. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
