Abstract

A single piece electrical receptacle terminal (2) comprises a contact section (6) in the form of a box having a front wall (18) and short mating end side wall portions (30) extending from the front wall (18). The side wall portions (30) assist in providing a robust box and protect the contact area, yet require little material and generate little scrap.
