PIN TYPE ELECTRICAL CONTACT TERMINALS

摘要

A one-piece sheet metal pin type electrical contact terminal comprises an intermediate split sleeve having a probe extending from one end and a lead wire attachment portion extending from the other end. The probe comprises a pair of longitudinal arms having tips which engage to permit elongation of the probe while stiffening the individual deflection characteristics of each arm. The terminal may be modified to include an integral tab at the end of one tip which is bent over the other tip to protect the tips from being spread apart.
