ABSTRACT:
Receptacle terminal comprises a web having sidewalls extending from the marginal side portions of the web. The sidewalls extend inwardly towards each other so that a tab can be received between the web and the free edges of the sidewalls. A latching tongue is struck from the web. The tongue has an intermediate portion which extends obliquely from the web towards the free edges of the sidewalls and an engaging portion on its end. The engaging portion extends obliquely away from the free edges of the sidewalls and through the opening produced by forming the tongue. The tongue has a boss thereon which enters an opening in a tab inserted into the receptacle. The tongue can be flexed upon engagement of the engaging portion to disengage the boss from the opening in the tab.
