These are high-current (30-50A range) connectors though (for the wheelchair traction batteries). Getting the positioning correct so that the spring tension in the metal terminals creates a reliable/low-resistance/non-sparking connection is a shared contribution from the geometry of the metal terminal and the plastic housing (as opposed to most low current (0-5 Amp) electrical connections, where the connection geometry is most commonly provided by the metal geometry alone and the plastic's contribution is just keeping them "organized and close enough to mate").
