ABSTRACT:
This specification discloses an electrical assembly for engaging a set of contact pins such as that extending from a power window switch. The assembly includes a one-piece housing with a passageway extending therein for receiving an electrical contact terminal. A ramp along one side of the passageway has a recess therein so that the ramp does not extend completely across the side of the passageway. The electrical contact terminal has a socket portion for receiving a contact pin, the socket portion having a raised flange for guiding the pin. The recess in the ramp is aligned to pass the raised flange thus easing entry of the terminal into the passageway and preventing such excessive deflection and deformation which would occur if the flange portion had to pass over the ramp.
