20100178814 | ELECTRICAL TERMINAL - An electrical terminal having a body and a pair of beams extending away from the body, each of the beams having a first end attached to the body and a second end distal to the body. The beams form a slot therebetween, and are sufficiently flexible in order to enable the slot to open in response to the insertion of an electrical device therein. Each of the beams has an inboard side proximate to the slot and an outboard side opposite the inboard side. The inboard sides of the beams are parabolic in shape. As a result of this parabolic shape, the beams distribute stress more evenly along the inboard and outboard sides of the beams. Consequently, concentration of stress on the beams proximate to the body is reduced significantly, and, therefore, the risk that the terminal will exceed its yield strength and have permanent deformation of the beams is reduced. | 2010-07-15 |
