ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for a vehicle has a receptacle base formed with preferably five receptacles for receiving complementary electrical pins on a vehicle power switch. The power switch is associated with a power component, e.g., a power window, power sun roof, or power door lock, for operating the power component. The receptacle base is reciprocatingly engaged with a hollow locking cover, and is movable between a locked position, wherein opposed keeper ribs on the receptacle base snappingly engage respective cavities formed on the locking cover, and an unlocked position, wherein the ribs are distanced from the cavities. Opposed retainer ears are formed on the locking cover for snappingly engaging complementary structure on the power switch to hold the power switch in a fixed relationship with the receptacle base when the locking cover is in the locked position. An electrical contact having opposed bight-shaped contact elements is positioned in each receptacle for electrically contacting one of the pins of the power switch.
