ABSTRACT:
A terminal lead for a miniature electronic component or the like includes an integral clip formed at one end for engagement with a substrate onto which the component has been deposited. The clip has a labyrinthine configuration which provides a secure grip on the substrate through extended length contact therewith. This extended length contact also reduces stress on the solder joint between the lead and a metallized contact area on the substrate, while also providing improved sealing with a molded plastic housing which encases the substrate.
