Abstract
An interlocking terminal connection includes a pair of terminal plates each having a base portion with a hole for receiving a fastener. Each terminal plate further includes a pair of wing portions on either side of the base portion. The wing portions on a first terminal plate are displaced upwardly, while the wing portions on a second terminal plate are displaced downwardly. Each base portion includes a latch at the rearward end and a complementary latch window at its forward end. The base portion of the first terminal plate includes a plurality of downwardly deformed retaining members for preventing rotation of the terminal connection during mounting. Upon insertion of the first terminal plate into the second terminal plate, the base portions and wing portions interlock and the latch on each base portion is received within the latch window of the other base portion to prevent the release of the terminal plates. A fastener is then inserted through the holes in the base portions to secure the terminal plates to an object such as a grounding panel or frame.
