An electrical terminal having a base section, a first contact leg and a second contact leg. The contact legs extend from the base section. The first contact leg has a first generally planar portion. A first curved resilient contact portion extends from a first side of the first planar portion, and a first positioning wall extending from a second side of the first planar portion. The first side of the first planar portion is opposed to the second side of the first planar portion. The second contact leg has a second generally planar portion. A second curved resilient contact portion extends from a first side of the second planar portion, and a second positioning wall extends from a second side of the second planar portion. The first side of the second planar portion is opposed to the second side of the second planar portion.

A contact insert for a connecting terminal, wherein the contact insert has a busbar piece and a clamping spring for clamping an electrical conductor in a conductor insertion direction, wherein the busbar piece and the clamping spring form a clamping point for the electrical conductor to be clamped, and wherein the contact insert has a bushing contact for receiving a contact pin. The longitudinal extension direction of the bushing contact runs essentially perpendicular to the conductor insertion direction from the busbar piece. The bushing contact is designed to receive the contact pin perpendicular to the longitudinal extension direction of the bushing contact and to receive the contact pin in the longitudinal extension direction of the bushing contact.

A female terminal has a mating segment, and the mating segment includes a pair of channels. Each of the channels has a base wall, an upper side wall and a lower side wall. Each of the channels has a base part, a port part, and a connection part connecting the base part and the port part. A base wall of the connection part of each of the channels is connected to a base wall of the base part. An upper side wall and a lower side wall of the connection part respectively have a cantilever contact component connected to the base wall of the connection part. In each of the channels, a base wall of the port part is connected to the base wall of the connection part. The port part of each of the channels and a port part of another channel together form a frame port.

An electrical connector housing has a plurality of socket cavities configured to receive single terminal inserts or bus inserts introduced from a rearward section. At least one row of socket cavities is formed as cylindrical cavities extending in the housing in parallel manner along an insertion direction running from the rearward to the forward section. Adjacent cavities in the row are separated by a partition wall. First locking means are provided in the socket cavities for locking in place a single terminal insert arranged in a given cavity. Second locking means are provided for locking in place a bus insert inserted in a corresponding number of socket cavities. The partition walls comprise, in the rearward section, slots extending in the insertion direction to accommodate the bus plate of the bus insert.

A contact element comprises a contact box extending in a longitudinal direction of the contact element and delimiting a receptacle. The contact box includes a first box section, a second box section, a third box section arranged opposite the first box section, and a fourth box section arranged opposite the second box section. The second box section and the fourth box section each connect the first box section to the third box section. The first box section and the third box section are each configured in an elastic manner and the second box section and the fourth box section are each configured in a rigid manner. The second box section and the fourth box section are each inclined with respect to the first box section.

A terminal metal fitting includes a tubular box portion receiving a counterpart terminal; a terminal spring extending from an inner wall surface of the box portion to press and contact the counterpart terminal; and a deformation restriction portion restricting deformation of the terminal spring within a preset range when the terminal spring contacts the counterpart terminal. The deformation restriction portion has a chamfered portion to contact the terminal spring.

An electrical contact includes a main body extending along a longitudinal axis between a mating end and a terminating end of the socket contact. The main body has a first side, a second side, a front, and a rear. The electrical contact includes a mating contact extending from the main body at the mating end including a mating interface configured for mating with a mating electrical contact. The electrical contact includes a contact tail extending from the main body at the terminating end. The contact tail includes a foot configured to be terminated to a circuit board, a neck extending between the foot and the main body that is narrower than the main body, and an impedance control tab extending along the neck for impedance control of the contact tail between the main body and the circuit board
