Abstract: An electrical terminal for use in conjunction with thinly insulated wires and cables is disclosed. The terminal has funnel means therein to guide the conductors of the wires into place in the terminal wire barrels. The terminal has means therein to limit the forward insertion travel of the wire to assure that no wire insulation enters the wire barrel area. The funnel means provides strain relief means in a crimped connection where the wire joins the terminal.

Abstract: A spring receptacle contact and a housing therefor, the contact including a pair of resilient cantilever spring fingers which cooperate to provide a receptacle. The fingers are each provided with a button compressibly engaged on opposed sides of a housing recess into which the spring contact is inserted. The contact is further provided with a tab in spaced relationship from a pair of flaps. Together, the tab and flaps are crimped over an electrical post which projects from the housing recess. The receptacle contact is further provided with an elongated embossed base which terminates in a generally T-shaped end portion which seats laterally within the housing recess. Such end portion additionally carries a tine which abuts against a shoulder in the housing to prevent withdrawal of the contact receptacle. A pair of diagonally projecting levers compressibly engage against a side of the housing recess for seating the longitudinal base of the receptacle contact laterally against an opposed side of the housing recess. Additionally, the levers abut against a shoulder provided in the housing recess to lock the recess to lock the receptacle contact therein. To remove the receptacle contact, a suitable tool is inserted into the housing recess for resiliently deforming the tine and disengaging it from the cooperating shoulder.
