Abstract

An electrical terminal assembly having fixed and flexible tab receptacle terminal retainers. Each inserted receptacle terminal is retained by means of a movable finger formed in one side wall of the receptacle connector cavity and a fixed retaining shoulder in the opposite internal side wall of the connector cavity, both shoulders engaging the inserted female receptacle terminal. The receptacle terminal is removed by resiliently deflecting the movable finger to disengage the retaining shoulder thereon from the receptacle terminal thereby allowing withdrawal of the receptacle terminal.
