44 has a male section 52 in the plane of wire receiving portion 40 and intermediate portion 42 the male section 52 has a mating edge 54 on one side of the axis defined by the wire receiving slot 46 and a right angle bend 56 paralleling the axis on the other side thereof the bend forms a web 58 in a plane perpendicular to the male section 52 the web has an additional right angle bend 60 perpendicular to the axis which forms female section 62 in a plane perpendicular to the male section 52 the female section 62 has a free end 64 opposite bend 60 the free end having a mating slot 66 therein in the plane of the male section 52 the slot 66 is profiled with opposing nubs 68 which bear on the male section 52 39 of a complementary identical terminal 28 39 when the terminals are mated each terminal thus has four points of contact with the complementary terminal to which it is mated terminals 28 are assembled to housing 20 by inserting the wire receiving portion 40 into a closely fitting aperture 71 in the mating face 22 of the terminal until the wire receiving portion 40 protrudes above the wire receiving face 21 and lock tab 48 bears on shoulder 72 as shown cross sectionally in fig7 stabilizing bar 50 rests on.
