Abstract
An electrical terminal assembly includes a base and a spring member. The base defines an axis and includes a plurality of base beams deflectable toward the axis. The spring member has a main portion that is disposed over the base, and a plurality of spring beams that extend from the main portion. The spring beams bias the base beams toward the axis. The main portion of the spring member is made from a folded blank having a first edge that is permanently secured to a second edge such that the edges cannot be pulled apart from one another.
