The terminal element comprises two arms 10 and 11 joined by a link portion 12 and together defining a parallel sided notch 13. A double bend 23 is formed in the link portion and a second double bend 24 in one arm to produce a notch of the desired width. The contacting-making element may comprise two leak springs 16 and 17 forming a socket contract. A locating member 18 is also provided to locate the contact in a housing.
