Abstract
An electrical connector for mating with three orthogonally arranged tabs, e.g., on an automobile head lamp base, comprises a housing having three cavities arranged in line and each receiving an electrical terminal having opposed first and second tab-engaging contacts. The terminals are identical with one another. The housing defines three tab receptacles which are also orthogonally arranged. The first contact of each terminal in each of the two cavities is engageable with a tab inserted into a respective one of two of the receptacles and the second contact of the terminal in the center cavity is engageable with the remaining tab.
