Abstract
The present invention discloses an electrical receptacle terminal, comprising a contact portion being in electrical connection with a male terminal and a connecting portion being in electrical connection with an electrical cable, wherein the contact portion comprises: an housing having a bottom wall, a right wall, a left wall and a top wall; and an elastic contact member located in the housing and connected to the top wall of the housing through a suspension member. According to the present invention, the elastic contact member is suspended on the top wall of the housing through a suspension member. Since the suspension member that is connected to the elastic contact member itself exhibits certain flexibility, the elastic contact member and the male terminal inserted into the elastic contact member can do slight motion along with the suspension member in the front-rear direction. Thus, there is no relative slight motion between the elastic contact member and the male terminal inserted into the elastic contact member.
