A four terminal female connector for circular fluorescent lamps has a molded plastic support body of cruciform cross section. Four elongated terminals stamped from a metal strip are disposed in respective terminal-receiving channels in the four quadrants of the cruciform body. A molded plastic housing slidably encloses the body and terminals. One end of each terminal is formed with a hooked portion for push-in engagement of an electrical lead wire. The other end of each terminal has two arms bent inwardly from opposite sides of the base of the strip to form a prong-engaging channel for a mating male connector. The base of the prong-engaging channel is angled slightly with respect to the longitudinal axis of the connector to provide a flared contact surface for facilitating entry of a male connector.
