Title: Electrical socket connector and terminal therefor
Abstract:
An electrical socket connector is detachably connected to a post terminal having axially arranged multiple contacts which successively increase in size. The socket connector comprises a one-piece connector body having a plurality of longitudinal, vertically arranged, successively wider, cavities each containing an appropriately sized terminal and each having an appropriately sized longitudinal slot for the post terminal. The terminals are secured to lead wires and have forward contact portions comprising a pair of side rails which are connected by longitudinally spaced webs and which have inwardly displaced central portions between the webs which biasingly engage the post terminal contacts. The socket connector is sealed by a boot having flaps which close a rear assembly opening and a bottom wall passage which receives the post terminal. The socket connector also includes a connector lock for securing the socket connector to the post terminal.
