Abstract
An electrical terminal comprises an outer back-up spring and an inner contact body. The inner contact body is provided with resilient contacts in its middle body section that bias against a plated inner surface of the back-up spring for electrical contact therewith. The back-up spring has on an outer surface a gold plated band that serves as a zone for electrical contact with a short circuit spring terminal. Reliable electrical contact is therefore made between a short circuit spring terminal and the inner contact body of this terminal.
