Perfected terminal

An electrical terminal connector for mounting in a connector box for selectively and frictionally receiving a male terminal of an electrical conductor, comprising,

• a base,
• first and second substantially planar spaced side walls extending upwardly from said base and having opposite first and second ends,
• a pair of contacts extending from said first end of said first and second side walls toward said second ends thereof so as to be intermediate said side walls and having free ends, said contacts being connected to said side walls so as to be yieldable with respect thereto and said free ends converging toward one another, said contacts being spaced so as to frictionally engage a male terminal therebetween,
• first wings extending upwardly from said first and second side walls adjacent said second ends thereof adapted to crimpingly engage an electrical conductor, and
• opposing stops extending inwardly of said planes of said first and second side walls and positioned between said planes of said first and second side walls and said contacts for engaging said contacts as said contacts are moved away from one another when a male terminal is inserted therebetween, whereby said stops act to limit expansion of said contacts toward said first and second walls, and contacts in secured frictional engagement with a male terminal inserted therebetween.
