ABSTRACT:
A terminal retention feature for retaining a terminal pin in a terminal block is disclosed. The retention feature includes an arrowhead shape having barbs thereon. The barbs are tapered on the front side to reduce insertion forces and eliminate deformation of the terminal block. The retention feature provides reduced insertion forces while enabling high retention forces preventing pull out of the terminal pin.
