Metalized fabric heating blanket electrical connector

An electrical connector comprising:

• a hub connector having a mounting plate, side guide rails and a guide flange extending from said mounting plate to form a guide channel, said guide flange having an abutment wall and overhanging top ledge extending from said abutment wall, and a pair of electrically conductive first snap portions coupled to said mounting plate;
• a hub assembly removably coupled to said hub connector, said hub assembly having a hub housing, a mounting tongue extending from said hub housing, said mounting tongue having a leading edge distal said hub housing, said mounting tongue being sized and shaped to be received within said guide channel with said leading edge of said mounting tongue being positioned against said abutment wall and against and below said overhanging top ledge, and a pair of electrically conductive second snap portions configured to mate with said pair of electrically conductive first snap portions, and said pair of electrically conductive second snap portion being coupled to said hub housing to be in alignment with said pair of electrically conductive first snap portions when said leading edge of said mounting tongue abuts said abutment wall and said tongue abuts said overhanging top ledge;
• wherein said mounting plate of said hub connector includes a first prong opening, and wherein said hub housing includes a first prone configured to be received within said first prone opening:
• wherein said mounting plate of said hub connector includes a second prong opening, and wherein said hub housing includes second prong configured to be received within said second prong opening, and
• wherein said first prong opening is distal said guide flange and said second prong opening is proximal said guide flange, and where said first prong is distal said mounting tongue and said second prong is proximal said counting tongue.

A heating blanket electrical connector comprising:

• a blanket portion having an electrical heating element, a cover overlaying said heating elements, pair of electrical heating element contacts electrically coupled to said electrical heating element, and a temperature sensor;
• a hub connector coupled to said blanket portion, said hub connector having a mounting plate, a plurality of guides extending from said mounting plate to form a guide channel, said plurality of guides includes an abutment wall and overhanging top ledge extending from said abutment wall and directly over a portion of said guide channel, a pair of electrically conductive first snap portions coupled to said mounting plate and electrically coupled to said pair of electrical heating element contacts, and first connector electrically coupled to said temperature sensor;
• a hub assembly removably coupled to said hub connector, said hub assembly having a hub housing, a mounting tongue extending from said hub housing and having a leading edge distal said bub housing, said mounting tongue being sized and shaped to be received within said guide channel with said leading edge positioned below said overhanging top ledge, a pair of electrically conductive second snap portions configured to mate with said pair of electrically conductive first snap portions, and second connector electrically couplable to said first connector when said hub assembly is coupled to said hub connector;
• wherein said mounting plate of said hub connector includes a first prong opening. and wherein said hub housing includes a first prong configured to be received within said first prong opening;
• wherein said mounting plate of said hub connector includes a second prong opening, and wherein said hub housing includes a second prong configured to be received within said second prong opening, and
• wherein said first opening is distal said overhanging top ledge and said second prong opening is proximal said overhanging top ledge, and wherein said first prong is distal said mounting tongue and said second prong is proximal said mounting tongue.
