Female terminal with lateral retaining blades for male terminals, and connection assembly including such female and male terminals

摘要

The female electrical terminal for the cable connector comprises a cage (4) for receiving a tongue (3) of the male terminal. The cage (4) comprises two holding blades (16) for limiting the lateral movement of the tongue (3), especially under the influence of vibrations. These elastic retaining blades (16) may be located on a protective sleeve (6) surrounding the cage, which may also limit the movement of the cage (4) within the sleeve (6).
