Abstract
An electrical terminal includes an electrically conductive monolithic body including a mating end having a base, a contact beam spaced from the base in an upward direction, a side wall that extends from the base to the contact beam, and a spring assist member. The contact beam can be elastically flexible from an initial position whereby the spring assist member is spaced from the contact beam in the upward direction, to a deflected position whereby the contact beam abuts the spring assist member. The electrical is suited for assembly into a connector assembly which includes and inner core and an outer housing.
