Abstract
A connector incorporating the present invention includes the contact of the present invention and an electrical attachment, such as a wire crimp. The contact has a longitudinal body and a pair of fingers parallel to and offset from the longitudinal axis. Each finger has a protrusion and the body has a pair of depressions, each aligned with a finger protrusion. To engage the connectors, the two connectors are oriented so that they are opposed and so that each finger of one connector is aligned with the opposite finger of the other connector. Then the connectors are pulled apart longitudinally until the finger protrusions snap into the depressions, securing the two connectors together.
