ABSTRACT:
A locking shield for an electrical terminal includes a base wall secured to an insulator body molded about a female terminal. Wing flanges extend from the base wall about the insulator body and include overlapping apertured terminal flanges which overlie an apertured wall of the body opening to the terminal. The terminal flange apertures are normally misaligned since the wing flanges are resiliently biased apart relative to each other. When the wing flanges are manually squeezed together, the apertures are aligned so that a male terminal can be inserted therethrough into electrical engagement with the female terminal. The resilient bias of the wing flanges engages the edges of the apertures with the male terminal to lock it in place when the wing flanges are manually released.
