Abstract
An improved terminal is disclosed for securing a cover to a base of a multicontact connector while terminating flat multiconductor cable. Specifically, the improvement consists of a slotted terminal with latching ears directed normally from a plane defined by the slot defining arms of the terminal. As a result, undue flexure of the arms in relation to each other, which would cause a narrowing of the slot during mating of the cover to the base, is eliminated.
