Abstract: An electric terminal includes a contact portion that includes a contact box. A first contact arm extends from the contact box and is adapted to engage a corresponding terminal. The electric terminal also includes a spring portion with a first spring box that is located around a portion of the contact box. The spring portion also includes a second spring box that is located adjacent to the first spring box. The first spring box includes a first spring arm that engages the first contact arm. The second spring box includes a first guard that engages the first spring arm.

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.

Abstract: An electrical connector formed to have at least one or more pairs of opposing legs extending from a body portion where each leg extends to a contact point where an inner surface of each opposing leg contact. A spring clip can be positioned over one or more of the opposing legs to increase a compressive force. The spring clip may include an alignment feature to limit clip rotating and/or pitching.
