ABSTRACT:
An electrical component package includes a housing having a pair of open ended terminal receiving passages and a cavity intermediate the inner ends of the passages for receiving the body of the component. The bent leads of the component are received in grooves located outwardly of the passages. A cover is integrally hinged to the housing and includes a pair of flanges which cover the grooves and component leads when the cover is in closed position. The cover further includes a pair of cavities which open to the inner ends of the terminal receiving passages when the cover is in closed position and an opening through the cover intermediate the cavities to permit viewing of the body of the component. Cooperating shoulders on the cover and housing maintain the cover in closed position. After assembly of the electrical component within the housing, female terminals can be inserted through the passages and electrically connected to the component leads. The terminals are housed both in the passages and in the cavities of the cover. Cooperating shoulders of the terminals and of the passages releasably locate the terminals within the passages. After connection of the terminals to the component leads, an integral flap of the cover can be moved to a closed position wherein detents of the flap extend through lateral passages of the housing and into the terminal receiving passages to block withdrawal of the terminals and also releasably maintain the flap in closed position.
