DEFINITION

Classification: 439/850

Resilient channel-like socket for receiving thin blade contact (e.g.., spade receiving):

(under subclass 842) Electrical connector wherein the female connector is particularly adapted to telescopically receive and resiliently grip a male contact having a generally flattened rectangular cross section; and wherein the female connector comprises a generally planar base having an opposed pair of side flanges, each of which has a portion thereof extending inwardly toward one another to form male contact gripping surfaces or edges, whereby a flat male contact telescopically inserted into the female connector is resiliently gripped between the base and the inwardly extending surfaces or edges.
