Abstract
The tab receptacle terminal fabricated by bending a single sheet
of metal comprising a rectangular receptacle box having a closed
continuous wall forming an end opening through which a male tab terminal
is inserted so as to make contact with a receptacle box. The receptacle
box includes a bottom, a top, and sides. Fixed beams formed in the top
extend toward the bottom for engagement with one side of the male tab
terminal. The fixed beams lie parallel to the axis of male tab terminal
insertion. A cantilever supported movable beam member is formed between
the top and the bottom by a portion of the sheet of metal folded into the
interior of the box for contact with the other side of the male tab
terminal. The movable beam member includes a front end portion located
adjacent to the end opening, a middle portion, and a rear portion
attached to the box. The rear portion of the movable beam is bent upward
toward the top of the box, the middle portion is bent substantially
parallel to the bottom, and the beam has a first transverse raised ridge
protruding toward the fixed beams in the top at the transition between
the rear portion and the middle portion. This first ridge is positioned
to make contact with the male tab terminal engaged with the fixed beams
in the top. The front end portion of the movable beam is bent toward the
bottom and has a second transverse raised ridge at the transition between
the middle and the front end portion. The second ridge is also
positioned to make contact with the inserted male tab terminal engaged
with the fixed beams in the top. The bottom has an integral flap at the
end opening which is bent toward and into the opening at an acute angle
so as to overlap and limit motion of the movable beam as the male tab is
inserted thus making the movable beam fixed when the male tab terminal is
inserted within the box. This provides fixed beam contact between the
ridges on the movable beam on the underside of the male tab terminal and
between the fixed beams in the top and the opposite side of the male tab
terminal.
