Embodiment Construction

[0025] refer to figure 1 , shows a perspective view of an electrical jack terminal or contact 1 incorporating features of the present invention. Although the invention will be described with reference to typical embodiments shown in the drawings, it will be understood that the invention can be embodied in many alternative forms of embodiments. In addition, any suitable size, shape or type of elements or materials could be used.

[0026] figure 1 The electrical jack terminal 1 shown in Image 6 ), the male or lug terminal 201 has a pin contact portion 200 adapted to be movably inserted into the receptacle terminal 1 . The male terminal 201 is paired with the electrical jack terminal 1 through the front end 10 of the jack terminal 1 . The rear end 12 of the terminal 1 is adapted to connect the terminal 1 with a conductor (not shown). Terminal 1 is a combined terminal. The terminal 1 generally includes a terminal body or frame 14 and a spring 16 (see figure 2 ). A spring...

Abstract

A multi-piece electrical receptacle terminal including a frame with a receptacle section adapted to receive a male contact; and a spring movably captured in the receptacle section. The spring includes a front end and a contact section spaced from the front end for contacting the male contact when the male contact is inserted into the receptacle section. The frame includes inward projections capturing the front end of the spring at the inward projections. The receptacle section includes an interior facing frame contact surface for contacting the male contact when the male contact is inserted into the receptacle section. The frame contact surface includes at least one inward projection which form a plurality of angled contact areas. At least one of the contact areas is angled relative to aninsertion path of the male contact into the receptacle section.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to electrical connectors, and more particularly to combined electrical jack terminals. Background technique [0002] US Patent Nos. 6,247,975 and 6,056,604 disclose modular electrical jack terminals. A spring is arranged in the socket terminal, and is mechanically and electrically connected with the male contact or the lug terminal. There are tab terminals of different sizes (widths) including tabs of 1.2 mm width and tabs of 0.64 mm width. In the past, electrical jack terminals were specifically designed for predetermined sized lug terminals so that the spring would not rotate or twist when used with smaller sized lug terminals. Rotation or twisting of the spring may cause incomplete electrical contact between the tab terminal and the receptacle terminal. [0003] It would be desirable to provide an electrical jack terminal suitable for use with multi-sized lug terminals without significant risk of twisting or rotating...
