Abstract
An electric socket terminal has an elongated, resilient socket comprising two axially spaced split tubes joined by a circumferential array of juxtaposed spring strips and means for retaining the electric socket terminal in a cavity of an insulator block. The retaining means is beside the elongated, resilient socket and includes a U-shaped guard and a resilient latch tang. The U-shaped guard has axially spaced legs which are integrally attached to the respective split tubes and the resilient latch tang is integrally attached at one end to one of the legs of the U-shaped guard and extends generally axially of the elongated, resilient socket.
