ABSTRACT:
A unitary connector body of molded dielectric material has a pair of elongated hollow members which house a pair of female electrical terminals matable with a pair of laterally spaced blade-like male terminals carried by another electrical device. A transverse bridge connects the intermediate portions of the elongated members in a manner to provide torsionally resilient hinge means whereby the forward portions of the elongated members move laterally away from each other responsive to movement of the rearward portions toward each other and vice-versa. The forward portions are generally C-shaped in lateral section and a longitudinal center piece extends forwardly from the bridge to guide the male terminals into the forward C-shaped portions. The forward portions have rearwardly facing shoulders which cooperate with lateral shoulders of the pair of male terminals to lock the connector body in coupled engagement. The connector body is unlocked and disconnected by squeezing the rearward portions of the elongated members and withdrawing the connector body longitudinally from the male terminals.
