Abstract: A female wire terminal includes a box extending longitudinally from a crimp end to an open forward end that is configured to receive a male wire terminal. The box is provided by upper and lower walls joined by a first lateral wall. A second lateral wall is joined to the lower wall opposite the first lateral wall. The upper wall provides a protrusion that is configured to cooperate with an electrical connector. The upper wall overlaps and abuts at a rearward end of a longitudinal edge of the second lateral wall opposite the first lateral wall. The rearward end is opposite the open end.

Abstract: An electrical assembly including a first element, such as a connector body, formed of a conductive composite material and a second element formed of a solid metallic material, such as a sheet metal electromagnetic interference shield, defining a fibrous conductive region formed of a plurality of metallic filaments. The conductive composite material forming the first element completely surrounds a portion of the fibrous conductive region. Conductive fibers in the conductive composite material are in intimate contact with the fibrous conductive region, forming a very high number of electrical contact points between the conductive fibers in the conductive composite material and the fibrous conductive region and thereby providing a robust electrical connection between the first element and the second element.
