ABSTRACT:
A thin, flat conductive terminal strap is rigidly fastened to an insulation support board. The support board has two spaced, parallel slots into which a U-shaped end of the strap is dropped. A portion of one leg of the U near its base has a length slightly longer than the distance between the slots. When the later leg is bent upwardly to wrap the strap around the material between the slots, its end, which has an extension region, engages a frangible region in the opposite leg just beneath the support board and distorts the frangible region beyond the edge of the slot which receives the leg with the frangible region. The extension is slightly narrower than the frangible region. Thus, the entire strap is securely staked to the terminal board. The opposite surface of the terminal strap may serve as a contact which makes sliding contact with a sliding wiper. An array of a plurality of such terminals may be formed on a common insulation board. The frangible region can be formed by stamping a weakened region in the terminal strap before it is bent to its U shape.
