ABSTRACT:
An electrical terminal is adapted for insertion into a through hole of a circuit board and includes a first section that receives an electrical contact. The first section includes first and second spring arms proximate to each other at a contact point and configured to exert a first spring force to retain the electrical contact. The electrical terminal also includes a second section adapted for insertion into the through hole of the circuit board. The second section includes first and second pin members proximate to each other and defining first and second slots configured to exert a second spring force to retain the electrical terminal in the through hole of the circuit board. The second spring force is exerted in a direction perpendicular to the first spring force.
