Abdeckung eines Steckerelementes

A cover 11 for an electrical terminal is formed by bending a stainless steel stamping into an angular tubular shape. A right side plate 15 of the cover 11 is formed so as to protrude above a plate face of an upper face plate 12, a lance 20 being formed on this plate face by shearing. This protruding portion serves as a stabilizer 17 which is formed in a stepped shape so as to be retracted inwards with respect to the outer face of the right side plate 15. The anterior and posterior ends of the upper face plate 12 have a pair of inserting members 22 formed thereon. The stabilizer 17 has a pair of fitting grooves 23 formed by cutting away into the protruding portion thereof. When the stamping is bent to the angular tubular shape, the inserting members 22 fit into the corresponding groove 23 to improve the stability of the cover, and without protruding beyond the right side plate 15.
