Abstract
An electrical power outlet assembly having a socket formed by a one-piece, deep-drawn metal cup with an integral out-turned flange at its mouth, the cup having at its bottom a transverse end wall that is lanced to form a diametric, spade-like terminal piece. One end of the terminal piece is integral with the metal cup, and the other end is free and clear. The terminal piece is bent outward to form an outstanding spade connector. An insulating terminal block is carried in the metal cup, and has a through passage extending from its front to its rear. An electrically conductive terminal is carried by the block and extends completely through the passage. The terminal has a forward contact portion adjacent the front of the block, and a rear terminal portion extending from the rear thereof. An especially simple, one-piece socket construction is thus realizeable by virtue of the integrally formed terminal piece that is stamped from the bottom wall of the metal cup.
