Abstract: A female terminal for receiving in electrical contacting engagement a spade portion of a male terminal. The female terminal includes a strip of electrical conductive material having a distal portion integral with another portion. The distal portion comprises a generally cylindric section having a bore therein which extends generally crosswise of the strip for the electrical contacting engagement with the spade portion. An end on the cylindric section includes a beveled surface for abutting engagement with the another portion of the strip.A method of making a female terminal is also disclosed.

Abstract: A terminal block assembly for an electrically energized device. The terminal block assembly has a housing, and a plurality of predeterminately spaced male terminals are mounted to the housing with spade portions extending from the housing. Means adapted for removable mounting with the male terminals has a casing containing a plurality of female terminals. The female terminals respectively include: a strip of electrical conductive material; opposite end portions on the strip respectively comprising a generally cylindric section and means for electrical connection with an electrical lead; and a bore in the cylindric section having a generally continuous circumferential portion for electrical contacting engagement with a respective one of the spade portions.

Abstract: An electrical contact adapted to be mounted to a supporting member. The contact has a body with a peripheral portion, and a plurality of means is provided adjacent the peripheral portion for mounting the body in displacement preventing engagement with the supporting member.A method of mounting an electrical contact to a supporting member therefor and an assembly of an electrical contact and a supporting member are also disclosed.
