Abstract
A dual beam receptacle terminal is shown having a generally box shaped receptacle contact where first and second contact portions are reversely bent from an upper wall to overlap within an interior of the receptacle contact. The first and second contact portions also extend in a cantilevered fashion from the upper wall. A spherical dimple is provided on the upper of the two reversely bent contact portions in the location of the overlapped portion. Contact stop portions are provided on the side walls of the receptacle contact portion which engage the contact stop portions on the receptacle sidewalls. A coverwall is provided overlapping the upper wall which forms a clean seam with the sidewall from which the upper wall extends.
