Abstract:
1. A female electrical terminal, comprising two pairs of mutually opposite leaf spring laminas, which are adapted to provide an accommodation and contact region for an associated blade-like male terminal, said two pairs of mutually opposite leaf spring laminas comprising a first pair of shorter laminas, provided with mutually opposite contact protrusions, and a second pair of longer leaf spring laminas, which are designed to determine a contact point which is offset with respect to the contact point formed by said first pair of laminas, at least one first lamina, of said second pair of long laminas, being provided with a protrusion for contact with said blade-like male terminal, which is offset with respect to the contact protrusions of the first pair of laminas, a second one of said long laminas having an extraction-preventing tooth which is designed to enter by snap action a hole of said blade-like male terminal, said tooth protruding from a flap which widens laterally from the second long lamina toward the laterally adjacent short lamina of the first pair of laminas, so as to affect a region of the interposed blade-like male terminal in which said hole is provided.
