An electrical female terminal for
mating with a connector
assembly generally including a main body, a two-bodied spring, A protrusion extends from an unattached end portion of the lever member, the protrusion having faces angled relative to each other to efficiently deflect the lever member upwards when the protrusion interacts with an internal protrusion of a housing or a connector
assembly, which in turn makes the electrical female terminal more difficult to remove from the housing or the connector
assembly to thereby protect the electrical female terminal against the electrical female terminal from falling out during use. A top portion of the
retainer member of the electrical female terminal, located above the two-bodied spring, has a
dimple portion to increase the number of contacts to an upper spring of the two-bodied spring, so as to increase the stiffness of the two-bodied spring. The terminal face or leading end portion of the electrical female terminal is prevented from damaging or
cutting a
silicone seal, which seals the connector assembly from environmental contaminants, during
mating therewith by providing thereon a recessed top face portion and a recessed bottom face portion. The overstress feature of the tang member of the lever is improved upon by relocating and reshaping the protruding member thereof.
