Summary:This approach generally pertains to a miniature terminal receptacle (10) with a connection section (12) and a mating section (14). The mating section has a pseudo- two-beam component that includes a contact spring (20) having a stationary beam, a resilient contact beam (24) and a beam overlapping section (26). The resilient contact beam has a contact bump (40) and a stiffening section (30) with a pivotal point (38). The shape of the contact spring increases the contact engagement or holding force on a male pin during mating. Overstress protection of the contact spring is provided and the terminal is economical to produce.
