ABSTRACT:
A tab-receptacle of known type comprises a pair of side walls upstanding from a base and having edge portions in-turned towards the base opposite rails pushed up from material at the junction of the base and the side walls so that a mating tab will be gripped between the opposed edge portions and the rails. A latching tongue has a lance for latching engagement in an aperture of a mating tab and a release projection. Catch members are provided on ends of strap-like extensions of the respective side walls at the front of the receptacle and include a clasp and stop lugs arranged for interengagement after a predetermined movement apart of the side walls (necessary for tab insertion) to prevent further deflection apart and strain of the side walls otherwise caused by a misaligned tab.
