Abstract
An electrical male terminal of this invention includes a clamp or crimp area, a main body, and a blade. Protruding members and support members of the main body act as overstress protection. A panel shield member protects a protruding guide member. In another embodiment of this invention, a protruding member extends from a first support member of the main body, and a cut-out portion at the lower portion of the main body accommodates therein the protruding member. Furthermore, in this another embodiment of the electrical male terminal of this invention, a protrusion extends from the unattached end portion of the lever member to protect the electrical male terminal from inadvertently falling out during use. The configuration or shape of the cross-section across the upper portion at the front portion of the main body and the support member at the front portion of the main body of the electrical male terminal is substantially U-shaped. The configuration or shape of the cross-section across the attached portion of the lever member of the electrical male terminal is substantially U-shaped. The electrical male terminal is formed, substantially in its entirety, as a contiguous and continuous single construction having included therein at least the main body, the clamp or crimp area, and the neck area that joins the main body and the clamp or crimp area, and/or the lever member (or tang member) and/or the blade.
