Electrical terminal for mating with two coplanar tabs

An electrical terminal comprising:

• a base section;
• a first contact leg extending from the base section, the first contact leg having a first generally planar portion, a first curved resilient contact portion extending from a first side of the first planar portion, and a first positioning wall extending from a second side of the first planar portion, the first side of the first planar portion being opposed to the second side of the first planar portion;
• a second contact leg extending from the base section, the second contact leg having a second generally planar portion, a second curved resilient contact portion extending from a first side of the second planar portion, and a second positioning wall extending from a second side of the second planar portion, the first side of the second planar portion being opposed to the second side of the second planar portion;
• wherein the first curved resilient contact portion has a first arcuate section which extends from the first planar portion and a first tab engaging section which extends from a free end of the first arcuate section, and the second curved resilient contact portion has a second arcuate section which extends from the second planar portion and a second tab engaging section which extends from a free end of the second arcuate section;
• wherein the first planar portion of the first contact leg has a first resilient contact arm formed thereon, the first resilient contact arm has a first free end which extends toward the first tab engaging section, and the second planar portion of the second contact leg has a second resilient contact arm formed thereon, the second resilient contact arm has a second free end which extends toward the second tab engaging section.

An electrical terminal comprising:

• a base section;
• a first contact leg extending from the base section, the first contact leg having a first generally planar portion, a first curved resilient contact portion extending from a first side of the first planar portion, and a first positioning wall extending from a second side of the first planar portion, the first side of the first planar portion being opposed to the second side of the first planar portion;
• a second contact leg extending from the base section, the second contact leg having a second generally planar portion, a second curved resilient contact portion extending from a first side of the second planar portion, and a second positioning wall extending from a second side of the second planar portion, the first side of the second planar portion being opposed to the second side of the second planar portion;
• wherein the second side of the first planar portion and the second side of the second planar portion are positioned adjacent each other, wherein the first positioning wall and the second positioning wall extend between the first curved resilient contact arm and the second resilient contact arm.

An electrical connector comprising:

• a housing having a base portion with a first terminal receiving portion and a second terminal receiving portion extending therefrom;
• an electrical terminal positioned in the housing, the electrical terminal comprising:
• a base section positioned in the base portion of the housing;
• a first contact leg positioned in the first terminal receiving portion, the first contact leg having a first planar portion, a first curved resilient contact portion, and a first positioning wall;
• a second contact leg positioned in the second terminal receiving portion, the second contact leg having a second planar portion, a second curved resilient contact portion, and a second positioning walk;
• wherein a longitudinal axis of the first contact leg is substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the second contact leg, and the longitudinal axis of the first contact leg and the longitudinal axis of the second contact leg are substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the base section.
