Abstract
A power terminal includes a terminal body having a mating portion including plates with a mating space therebetween. A spring clip is coupled to the mating portion and includes inner spring plates extending along the plates in the mating space with a slot therebetween. The inner spring plates directly engage and electrically connect to the terminal body and to a tab terminal received in the slot. The spring clip includes at least one cantilevered contact spring configured to be spring biased against and electrically connected to the tab terminal. The spring clip includes at least one stabilization contact spring spring biased against and electrically connected to the corresponding plate and configured to be spring biased against and electrically connected to the tab terminal. The stabilization contact spring provides a greater contact normal force against the tab terminal than the cantilevered contact spring.
