Abstract: Electrical connector provided with a casing having a front face and a rear face and having at least one row of cavities, accommodating female contact terminals, provided with first holes (30) emerging in the front face of the casing, and at least one of the walls of which has at least one elongate thin region forming a column (34) separated form the rest of the wall by slots parallel to the direction of insertion of the contact terminals into the cavities, this thin region being provided with an internal lug (36) to be engaged in a window in the terminals, the connector being furthermore provided with secondary locking means for the contact terminals, these secondary locking means consisting of studs (41) that can be moved perpendicular to the direction of insertion of the terminals between a parted position of the columns and a bearing position of the columns.

Abstract: Female electrical contact terminal obtained from a single electrically conducting metal sheet having a rear part (14) enabling it to be connected by crimping to an electrical wire (20), a transition region (15) and a front part in the form of a cage (10) consisting of an end (22) and of two side walls (26) which are extended by two right-angled branches (71, 72) in the part near the transition region (15).

Abstract: Contact terminal (1) provided with a rear part (2), for connection to an electrical wire (3), and with a front part for receiving a complementary pin contact (4), the contact terminal being provided with at least one cantilevered resilient contacting blade (5, 6), for which the front part is formed into a cage having a bottom (7), a first side (8) extended by a top (9) and a second side (10), the top, a single flank (11) being folded in order to follow, in succession, the internal faces of the top, of the first side and of the bottom, the folded flank carrying the resilient blade.

Abstract: Female electrical contact terminal obtained from a single electrically conducting metal sheet having a rear part (14) enabling it to be connected to an electrical conductor (20) and a front part in the form of a cage (10) consisting of an end (22), of two side walls (26), which are provided with flaps (46) for guiding a male contact during its insertion and with means for fixing this cage in connection housings, and of two upper half-walls in which each flap (46) has a width (L) approximately equal to the internal width defined by the walls of the terminal (10).

Abstract: Female electrical contact terminal obtained from a single electrically conducting metal sheet and having a rear part enabling it to be connected to an electrical conductor and a front part in the form of a cage consisting of an end, of two side walls adapted to guide a male contact during its insertion and fixing the cage in a connection housing. One of the side walls has deformations which act alternately on the opposite surfaces of the contact blade associated with the wall so as continuously to control the contact pressure exerted by the blade on the surface of the male contact when it is inserted.

Abstract: Female electrical contact terminal obtained from a single electrically conducting metal sheet having a rear part enabling it to be connected to an electrical conductor and a front part in the form of a cage consisting of an end, of two upper half-walls, of two side walls, which are provided with an arrangement for guiding a male contact during its insertion and with an arrangement for fixing this cage in connection housings and having a window in each side wall, a projection carried by a finger provided in the insulator of the connection housing, and a deformation defining a shoulder which bears on the bearing surface of the projection.

Abstract: A pluggable electrical connection block comprises a rectangular housing having parallel sideways therein and a plurality of flat slabs of elongated cross-section made of insulating material, each in one slideway. Each slab is formed with a single row of parallel passages for receiving respective contact terminals and has a major face cut out to constitute individual resilient retaining detents for engaging holes in the terminals. The housing and slabs have a slidable keying connector. The projections defining the slideways are formed throughout the entire depth of the housing so as to guide each slab from the moment it is inserted in the housing. The detents are placed short of the front end of the respective slab. The housing has a step formed internally on one of the major sides for coming into abutment against any raised detent.

Abstract: An electric contact terminal consists of a stamped and bent metal sheet part. It has a bottom and two sides connected to said bottom and extending laterally inwardly to constitute a ceiling whereby an elongated cage-like part is defined. Each of the sides has an internal wall laterally connected to an external wall in tight contact therewith by an 180.degree. bend. Each internal wall has a front cantilevered contact portion projecting forwardly in the direction of elongation, while each external wall has a front flap inwardly bent back about an edge orthogonal to the direction of elongation. Each flap retains a respective one of the cantilevered contact portions out of contact with the other contact portion.
