Abstract
A female terminal receptor for an automotive fuse or a terminal includes three or more pairs of opposing beams and at least one U-shaped clamping member. The U-shaped clamping member has a first base portion laterally disposed between two pairs of opposing beams and at least one pair of first end portions disposed over at least one pair of opposing beams for applying a predetermined compression force. The opposing beams have a first metallic composition and the U-shaped clamping member has a second metallic composition, wherein the first metallic composition has a higher conductivity than the second metallic composition, and wherein the second metallic composition has a higher relaxation temperature than the first metallic composition.
