Abstract
An insulator system for a plurality of male switch terminals protruding from a switch housing. An integrally formed insulative jacket has a skirt extending from the switch housing outwardly past the distal end of the male terminals. The jacket further has means internal of the skirt for frictionally engaging at least one of the male terminals. The jacket has an opening adjacent the distal end of at least one of the male terminals so that a female terminal may be connected to the male terminal. Female terminal has a surrounding insulative jacket which is engagable by the insulative jacket when the male and female terminals are connected, which sleeve, in cooperation with the frictionally engaging means, holds the insulative jacket in place on the switch housing.
