Abstract
A terminal comprises an inner contact and an outer body. The inner contact is U-shaped and has a spring section positioned between a connection section and a contact section for resilient longitudinal movement of the contact section with respect to the connection section for preventing fretting corrosion. The spring section is comprised within side walls and a bottom wall whereby this U-shape is easy to stamp and form thereby increasing the ease of manufacture, which is particularly important from miniature terminals.
