ABSTRACT:
A spark plug terminal connector for providing an electrical connection of a lead to a spark plug terminal includes a U-shaped seat for receiving the spark plug terminal and a conductor formed integrally therewith for providing an electrical connection of the lead to the seat. A U-shaped spring grip is adapted to fit around the closed end of the U-shaped seat, and has a pair of resilient opposed engaging fingers for retaining the spark plug terminal within the seat. The engaging fingers urge the spark plug terminal against the seat for providing an electrical connection thereto. The connector may be disengaged from the spark plug terminal with a pull-off motion in a direction other than in line with the longitudinal axis of the spark plug terminal without incurring damage to the connector. The resilient opposed engaging fingers yield to allow the connector to pass during such disengagement, and return to their original position thereafter to provide a secure electrical connection after repeated engagements and disengagements.
