ABSTRACT:
An electrical tab receptacle has a rearward portion for connection to an electrical conductor and a forward portion of channel shape formed by a base, upstanding side walls and a turned in portion of the side walls providing free edge portions in spaced confronting relationship with the base whereby the complementary tab is adapted to be received between the free edge portions and the base to form a connection; the tab receptacle is characterized by a resiliently displaceable engagement member extending from the side of the receptacle with a portion of the engagement member extending between the turned in side walls to provide an engagement element for engaging in latching relationship with the complementary tab to retain it in position, the engagement member further providing a release portion located outside the channel shaped portion for receiving a displacement force for disengaging the engagement element from the tab, the engagement element being biased into its latching position. An insulating housing may be provided for the receptacle and the housing may be slidable longitudinally such that a cam surface thereof engages the release portion to disengage the engagement element from the tab to permit its removal.
