Abstract

An electrical connector for electrically interconnecting flat terminals known as tabs. The contact units are loosely positioned in a housing but yet preloaded to provide wiping action on the inserting tabs terminals. The spring members of the contact units provide two stage insertion forces with the first stage being a low force and the second stage substantially higher.
