Abstract: Electrical contact for an electrical connector, produced by cutting and bending at least one strip of electrically conducting material. This electrical contact comprises a first wall itself comprising an edge that is adjacent to an edge of a second wall. The first wall has at least one cutout, open onto the edge of the first wall. The second wall has at least one tooth projecting from the edge of the second wall. The tooth is forcibly inserted into the cutout and extends in the plane of the first wall.

Abstract: A male power terminal and method for manufacturing a male power terminal are described. This terminal comprises a contact portion and a connection portion intended to electrically connect the terminal to an electrical circuit. This method comprises an operation of cutting a metal sheet, to form the contact portion and the connection portion. This method also comprises an operation of forming of bending the metal sheet so as to form the contact portion with a tubular shaped and a connection portion with two thicknesses of metal sheet. The method also comprises inserting a portion of a protection cap into the contact portion.

Abstract: A male and female power terminal assembly including a male terminal having a male contact portion including an outer contact surface and an inner surface, and a female terminal having a female contact portion including a sleeve and a finger made of an electrically conductive material. The outer contact surface is electrically connected to an inner surface of the sleeve. Further, the male terminal includes a connecting member made of an electrically conductive material which is placed inside a cylindrical hollow portion of the male terminal, and which interconnects the finger with the inner surface.

Abstract: In a connection assembly comprising a male contact and a female contact, the female contact comprises a plurality of elastic blades extending longitudinally along a central axis parallel to a direction of insertion. Each of these blades comprises two bent contact zones to form, respectively, a first and a second contact surfaces that are convex and essentially oriented towards the central axis on each of these bent zones. The first contact surface is situated closer than the second contact surface to the free end of the blade on which they are formed.
