Positive Lock receptacles are specifically designed to provide ease of assembly and secure retention to mating tabs. These unique features are attainable by the reduced insertion force of the product and the locking dimple. The receptacle locks onto mating tabs containing holes and is removable only by deflecting an integrally designed depressor prior to withdrawal. The depressor can be deflected manually by thumb pressure, or automatically by a cam inside a specially designed nylon housing. If the housing is employed, removal of the terminal from the tab is performed by simply applying withdrawal force to the housing. In addition to providing a means of disconnecting the terminal, the housing performs its traditional function.

Aside from reduced insertion forces, Positive Lock receptacles give the assembler a definite mechanical snap" when the terminal is correctly seated over the mating tab. This facilitates correct assembly in hard-to-reach areas such as under dashboards, recessed switch tabs, etc.

Safety is enhanced by the locking capability of the product. Unless the depressor is deliberately deflected, either manually or by withdrawal force applied directly to the optional housing, a terminal will not easily come off of the tab. Thus, the potential of exposed live parts or disruption of critical circuitry due to improperly seated or accidentally removed terminals is greatly reduced.
