Abstract: An electrical connector includes a connector body with a plurality of terminal receiving cavities formed therein. Each terminal receiving cavity is defined in part by a rigid floor and opposed upright walls. A rigid lock nib extends upwardly from the rigid floor into the terminal receiving cavity. A flexible beam opposes the rigid floor, and preferably includes a terminal hold down bump extending towards the rigid floor at a location generally opposite the rigid lock nib. The connector body is constructed and arranged for receiving a female terminal in each of the terminal receiving cavities. The female terminal may include a first and second end, and a body portion therebetween. The first end is open to receive a male terminal and the second end is constructed for attachment to a wire. The body portion includes a recess or aperture formed therein, defined in part by a rigid lock edge engaging a portion of the rigid lock nib.

Abstract: The invention includes a single-piece clip for securing an article(s) to a panel having a hole formed therein. The clip includes a tape bar having a slot formed in the bar and at least one portion of the bar for securing to the article such as a wire harness by taping or other suitable means. The clip also includes a stem extending through the slot and having an insertion head at one end for inserting through the hole in a panel and engaging the rear face of the panel. A first set of wings extend outwardly from the stem at a location below the insertion head and above a top surface of the tape bar. A second set of wings extend outwardly from the stem at one end of the stem and below a bottom face of the tape bar. Both sets of wings have a breadth sufficient to prevent the wings from being pulled or pushed through the slot formed in the tape bar.
