Abstract
A contact assembly for providing high current capabilities between an electrical terminal and a mating terminal. The contact assembly includes a conductive housing and a spring contact element. The spring contact element has first resilient contact arms, second resilient contact arms, and third resilient contact arms. The first resilient contact arms are positioned proximate the inner wall. The second resilient contact arms have second resilient contact portion bent portions which extend over the first end of the housing from the inner wall to the outer wall to retain the spring contact element in position on the housing. The third resilient contact portions have third resilient contact portion bent portions which extend over the second end of the housing from the inner wall to the outer wall to retain the spring contact element in position on the housing.
