Abstract
The tab is for mating with an electrical receptacle having oppositely bowed, gold plated, contact surfaces. The tab has a gold plated contact portion, one side of which is formed with two small radius, smoothly convex ribs extending along opposite margins of the one side for good wiping contact with one of the contact surfaces of the receptacle. The opposite side of the contact portion is formed with a single, smoothly arcuate rib for engaging the other contact surface of the receptacle to provide high durability contact therewith, the single rib being of much greater radius than either of the two ribs.
