Abstract: An electrical terminal having a contact-making region for making contact with a complementary contact pin and having a connecting region for connection to an electrical conductor is described, the contact-making region including an inner contact-making spring and an outer, external spring, the contact-making spring merging into a connecting region and having at least two mutually opposite contact spring arms which are supported by the external spring, the terminal further including a web which runs transversely with respect to the insertion direction is cut out on two longitudinal sides at least on a side of the external spring opposite the contact spring arms, this web being bent inwards in such a manner that it presses from the outside onto the contact spring arm.

Abstract: An electrical terminal (2) comprises a pin receiving contact section (8) and a pin mounting section (4). The receptacle terminal (2) is for mounting to pins stamped from pressed screens of automobile fuse and relay boxes, to adapt pin terminals thereof into receptacle terminals for certain connections. The pin mounting section (4) comprises a bottom wall (40), side walls (42, 44) and top half-walls (46, 48) that are bent into a U-shape and have free edges (56) directed towards the bottom wall (40). This U-shape provides for very stiff top walls with respect to outward forces on the side walls. The corners between adjacent walls are provided with slots (64, 62, 68, 66) to allow formation of inwardly bent contact and mounting arms (72, 74) that form a pin receiving contact cavity therebetween.

Abstract: An electrical distribution box comprising a box having a first outer portion and a second outer portion that include multiple stamped and formed circuit grids therein characterized in that at least one of the stamped and formed circuit grids are positioned and retained in the first portion and at least one of the stamped and formed circuit grids are retained in the second portion.
