Abstract: An electrical terminal assembly having fixed and flexible tab receptacle terminal retainers. Each inserted receptacle terminal is retained by means of a movable finger formed in one side wall of the receptacle connector cavity and a fixed retaining shoulder in the opposite internal side wall of the connector cavity, both shoulders engaging the inserted female receptacle terminal. The receptacle terminal is removed by resiliently deflecting the movable finger to disengage the retaining shoulder thereon from the receptacle terminal thereby allowing withdrawal of the receptacle terminal.

Abstract: A tab receptacle terminal consisting of a rectangular box having an end opening through which a male tab terminal can be inserted to make contact with fixed beams, parallel to the male terminal insertion axis, formed in the top of the box and protruding downwardly to engage one side of the male terminal. A cantilever beam member is formed between the top and bottom of the box and contacts the other side of the male terminal.

Abstract: An electrical receptacle terminal connector having visually inspectable components and an easily removable tab receptacle terminal inserted therein. The inserted receptacle terminal is retained by means of a moveable finger formed in the sidewall of the receptacle connector cavity which engages the female receptacle terminal and can easily be resiliently deflected outward to disengage from the receptacle terminal thereby enabling easy withdrawal of the receptacle terminal.
