Abstract: A female electrical terminal includes a contact piece and a spring piece. The contact piece includes a contact base having contact arms that extend therefrom to respective arm ends. The spring piece is supported on the contact piece and includes a spring base having spring arms that extend therefrom and bias the contact arms toward one another. The spring piece also includes a polarizer that limits the orientation at which the female electrical terminal can be inserted into a housing.

Abstract: A female electrical terminal includes a contact piece and a spring piece. The contact piece includes contact arms that extend from a contact base on opposite sides of a terminal axis in an insertion direction to respective arm ends. The contact piece also includes at least one contact latch. The spring piece includes spring arms that extend from a spring base on opposite sides of the terminal axis. The spring arms bias the contact arms toward the terminal axis. The spring piece also includes at least one engagement tab that extends from the spring base. The engagement tab includes a spring latch that is engaged with the contact latch to prevent movement of the spring piece relative to the contact piece in the insertion direction.

Abstract: A female electrical terminal includes an attachment portion. The female electrical terminal also includes a contact portion connected to the attachment portion. The contact portion includes contact arms located on opposed sides of a terminal axis. The contact arms are adapted to engage a corresponding male terminal inserted along the terminal axis. The female electrical terminal also includes a notch located in one of the contact arms.

Abstract: An electrical plug housing with a keying device for inserting a contact element into a contact chamber of the plug housing. The contact chamber has a square cross section preceded by a sealing chamber of round cross section. An inbound contact element encounters a keying element between the sealing and contact chambers for proper alignment. The frontal edges of the keying elements are slanted to form a blunt cone-shaped funnel for aligning the contact element.
