Abstract
This terminal includes a folded contact section which has a longitudinal junction line and defines contact surfaces, a securing section, suitable to be accommodated in a terminal accommodating chamber of an insulating housing, and an intermediate section extending between said contact section and securing section. The intermediate section is deformed in torsion around the longitudinal axis (X), whereby the junction line is angularly offset from the contact surfaces around the longitudinal axis (X). The invention also relates to a process for manufacturing such a terminal, and to an electrical connector including such a terminal.
