The terminal body has one or more flanges located on opposed sides of the terminal axis. The terminal body also has one or more body stops located on opposed sides of the terminal axis. The female electrical terminal also includes a contact piece. The contact piece has a contact body located around the terminal axis. A plurality of contact arms extend from the contact body at least partially in the interior space. The contact body is located at least partially between the flanges and the terminal axis. The contact piece also includes contact stops engaged with the body stops.

  • Publication number: 20210305745
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a base body having a contact portion and a connection portion. The base body has a plug receptacle in the contact portion and a latching arm for fastening the connector. The latching arm is formed at least partially from a first layer of material and a second layer of material. The latching arm is pivotable out of a latching position counter to a spring force at least in the direction of a release position. Thus, reliable fastening of the electrical connector is ensured with low assembly force because the first layer and the second layer are at least partially separated from each other when the latching arm is pivoted in the direction of the release position.

  • Patent number: 10396519
    Abstract: A two-piece male electric terminal includes an attachment piece with an attachment fastener portion that extends along a terminal axis. The two-piece male terminal also includes a contact piece with a lance and a contact fastener portion that extends along the terminal axis. One of the attachment fastener portion and the contact fastener portion includes a box structure. The box structure is positioned around and extends along the terminal axis and defines an interior space. The box structure includes a resilient contact locator that extends from a wall of the box structure into the interior space. The other of the attachment fastener portion and the contact fastener portion is located in the interior space. The contact locator is pre-stressed against the other of the attachment fastener portion and the contact fastener portion. The two-piece male terminal also includes a weld applied between the attachment piece and the contact piece.
