Abstract
An electrical terminal assembly includes a contact member with a contact base. A plurality of contact arms extend from the contact base in an arm direction. The contact arms are arranged on opposed sides of a terminal plane. The electrical terminal assembly includes a spring member supported on the contact member. The spring member includes a spring base. A plurality of spring arms extend from the spring base on opposed sides of the terminal plane in the arm direction. The spring arms engage the plurality of contact arms and bias the contact arms toward the terminal plane. The spring member also includes a shroud. The shroud extends in the arm direction around and beyond the contact arms. The shroud includes a terminal pass that the terminal plane is located in.
