Abstract: Provided is a female electrical connector referred to as a retaining ring terminal. The retaining ring terminal is a one-piece electrical connector having a crimp style cable connector portion on one end for receiving an electrical cable and a female post connector portion on a second end for receiving a post or male electrical connector. The female post connector portion includes a flat planar ring and a plurality of tabs (separated by a plurality of grooves) which extend from the inner surface of the flat planar ring inwardly towards the opening of the female post connector portion. The female post connector portion also includes a groove which extends through a flat planar ring, referred to as a ring groove which becomes a tab groove and has the same shape as the other tab grooves. A pair of ring holes are positioned on opposite sides of the ring groove on the flat planar ring.
