ABSTRACT:
The drawings illustrate an electrical connector including a conventional electrical connector body portion having a metal terminal secured therein and having an open-ended notch formed adjacent the terminal for sliding engagement with an external terminal post. A lock member portion includes a rigid arm integrally formed along one edge of the connector body portion, and a movable arm integrally pivotally connected at a midpoint thereof to the rigid arm and extending along an opposite edge of the connector body portion. An inwardly projecting locking corner is formed on the end of the movable arm adjacent the open-ended notch, adapted to being flexed outwardly by the movement therepast of the external terminal post upon the forcing of the connector body portion onto the terminal post for locking engagement with the terminal. Finger grips are formed on the outer edge of the other end of each of the rigid and movable arms adapted to pivot the locking corner outwardly away from the rigid arm in response to manual depression of the finger grips for release of the connector body portion from the terminal post.
