ABSTRACT:
A connector receptacle is provided with one flat external side for application to a printed circuit board. The connector receptacle has enclosing guiding walls terminating in a latch element. At least a pair of conductive female connectors are provided within slots in the connector receptacle. Each of these pieces providing the connectors consists of a pair of aligned female conductors integral with a pin connector support interconnected through a bridge and is formed of a single piece of sheet metal. The bridge also extends between the aligned pair of female conductors and supports a transversely extending spring tab which is used to enter a transverse slot in the connector receptacle to hold the integral piece in place. The female connector pieces are reversible for use in the slots provided on opposite sides of the connector receptacle. The circuit breaker, having electric terminal connectors which cooperate with the female connectors of the receptacle, is modified to provide a latch element extending in the direction of the terminal connectors from the circuit breaker and cooperative with the latch element on the connector receptacle to engage and hold the circuit breaker in position with the terminal connectors engaged with the female connectors of the connector receptacle.
