An electrical contact ( ) which can engage a mating terminal ( ) for electrical connection and detachable latching thereto. The contact includes a piece of sheet metal bent to form at least one guide plate ( ) and a bias plate ( ) lying facewise adjacent to the guide plate. The bias plate has a front end upper portion or nose ( ) with a top ( ) that lies above an adjacent location ( ) on the guide plate, but the nose can be resiliently downwardly deflected and then tends to spring up again. A recess ( ) in the bottom of the guide plate front portion receives the mating terminal, and the upper bias of the nose of the bias plate keeps the guide plate pressed down against the terminal lying in its recess, to thereby latch the two connectors together.
