Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0127195A1] An electrical tab receptacle (2) formed from sheet metal has a box-like body (3) with opposed pairs of spring arms (25, 26) extending forwardly in convergent manner and having turned out ends (29) defining a divergent entry to a tab receiving space. A latch projection (27) is formed on opposite, inner, sides of one of the arms (26) of each pair and present rear-facing shoulders in the tab receiving space, arranged to engage a tab recess or aperture (28) of a complementary tab (17) to resist withdrawal of the tab (17) from the receptacle. Outward flexure of the arms (26) releases the latch projection (13) and the receptacle (2) is suitably mounted in a housing (1) with the capacity for limited movement in the tab receiving direction between forward and rearward housing shoulders (21, 6). A projection (30) at the front of the housing is formed on its rearward face with a ramp (31) adapted to deflect the arms (26) transversely outwards on rearward movement of the housing relative to the receptacle.
