ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector has a generally closed rectangular receptacle for receiving a tab. The rectangular receptacle is formed without an opening along any of its sides in order to maintain the integrity of the rectangular receptacle during numerous insertions and withdrawals of the tab. A tongue is provided within the receptacle to aid in the retention of the tab as well as insuring electrical contact between the two members. A pair of locking projections are also provided within the receptacle. The locking projections are designed to deflect during the insertion of the tab and to spring into a corresponding pair of recesses in the tab to aid in the retention of the tab within the receptacle.
