  • Patent number: 4795380
    Abstract: A stamped and formed ring tongue terminal having a latch initially in the plane of the ring tongue, especially adapted to retain the ring tongue terminal to a stud or binding post received within a hole in the ring tongue. The inner end of the latch extends into the hole in the ring tongue and is deflected out of the plane of the ring tongue by engagement with the periphery of the stud or post. The hole in the ring tongue is offset from the wire barrel so that a plurality of terminals can be positioned on the same post with the wires and crimp barrels being side-by-side while the latches will nest.
