Abstract: An electrical terminal socket is provided for receiving a terminal pin member. The socket is stamped and formed from a single sheet of conductive metal material and includes a base wall, and a pair of side walls folded upwardly from opposite sides of the base wall. A top wall is folded inwardly from the top of one of the side walls, whereby the base wall, side walls and top wall define a socket with an opening at a front end thereof for receiving the terminal pin member. A terminating section extends from the base wall at a rear end of the socket. A spring arm is folded downwardly from a rear end of the top wall into the socket. The spring arm is tapered from a wide end thereof joined to the top wall to a narrow free end thereof which does not interfere with the terminating section during stamping and forming of the electrical terminal socket.
