An electrical terminal having a looped configuration for properly orienting a segment of the terminal to which a contact may be mounted to thereby properly direct a magnetic blow-out force induced by current flow through said segment. The terminal is formed by two longitudinal, parallel 90 DEG bends rather than two lateral, parallel 90 DEG bends, and comprises a flat rectangular member having a U-shaped aperture formed longitudinally therein defining a tongue segment (to which a contact may be mounted) spaced between a pair of longitudinal side segments joined at their ends by a pair of lateral segments bent 90 DEG from the plane of said tongue segment about longitudinal axes co-linear with the legs of the U-shaped aperture.
