  • Patent number: 4009924
    Abstract: A spark plug connector assembly comprises a sheet metal terminal and a spring clip embracing the forward barrel portion thereof.

The barrel portion is fore-shortened and the forward slots are open at the forward end of the terminal to prevent the terminal from binding on the spark plug terminal during detachment at high angles. The slot and dimple arrangement is such that proper assembly of the spring clip is assured and the spring clip is reversible.
