Abstract
A high retention, yet relatively low insertion force and withdrawal force female disconnect receptacle is provided. The female disconnect has a pad rising from its base, preferably lanced from the base. The lancing provides a firmness to the pad interacting with the metal of the base which holds a metal tab well, with a desired low insertion force and low withdrawal force that retains and does not easily degrade upon reuse. The pad preferably has a flat bearing surface.
