Abstract:
An electrical terminal includes a contact portion having a contact portion base with at least three sides forming a generally polyhedron structure. The contact portion has a plurality of contact arms, with at least one of the contact arms extending from at least some of the sides. The contact arms are arranged to receive a mating electrical component such that the mating electrical component contacts at least one of the contact arms associated with each side. A spring arrangement includes a plurality of spring arms, each having a spring head in contact with at least one respective contact arm near a distal end of the contact portion for applying a force thereto in a direction toward a central axis of the terminal, thereby increasing the retention force applied to the mating electrical component.
