Patent ID: 7195524

Claim:
An electrical terminal assembly comprising: a coupling head including a sleeve body having opposite first and second open ends, and an annular inner surface, and a plurality of resilient engaging arms that are arranged circumferentially in said sleeve body, each of said resilient engaging arms having a fixed end connected integrally to said annular inner surface of said sleeve body, and a free end opposite to said fixed end, extending toward said first open end of said sleeve body and spaced apart from said annular inner surface of said sleeve body, each of said engaging arms being formed with a radially and inwardly extending engaging protrusion; and a tubular electrical terminal extending into said sleeve body via said second open end and having an annular outer surface, said annular outer surface being formed with an annular engaging groove engaging detachably said engaging protrusions of said engaging arms of said coupling head, thereby confining said electrical terminal in said sleeve body; said engaging arms of said coupling head being operable so as to move said free ends of said engaging arms toward said inner surface of said sleeve body such that said engaging protrusions of said engaging arms are disengaged from said annular engaging groove in said annular outer surface of said electrical terminal, thereby permitting separation of said electrical terminal from said coupling head.
