Abstract:
A connector is provided that includes a female terminal with sacrificial portion. The terminal is configured to minimize arcing between a mating male terminal and an intended contact portion of the female terminal. The female terminal is configured such that arcs between the male terminal and the female terminal occur such that the sacrificial portion of the female terminal experiences any arcing while the intended contact portion remains suitable for reliably engaging the male terminal.
