Abstract
An electrical connector embodying the present invention includes a planar base member having an aperture and a blade receiving portion comprised of a plurality of resilient legs. The legs have concavo-convex surfaces near their free ends which facilitate insertion of a blade connector. Opposing concavo-convex surfaces are biased toward each other. As a result, the connector has a self-cleaning wiping action, and yet allows a blade connector to be installed with low insertion forces.
