ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly for electrically connecting an elongated pin conductor with a second circuit member. The connector assembly generally includes an insulated housing having a terminal receiving recess formed therein. The recess has a top wall, a bottom wall, a first end with an opening through which the pin conductor is received into the recess and a second end opposite the first end through which a terminal is inserted. The connector assembly also includes an electrical terminal received in the recess. The terminal has a lead portion connectable with said second circuit member and a resilient loop-shaped portion for engaging the bottom of the pin conductor when the pin is inserted into the terminal receiving recess. The terminal also includes a pair of spring fingers formed on top of the loop-shaped portion for laterally engaging the pin conductor when inserted into the terminal receiving recess. The above connector assembly is mountable on a circuit board between an edge thereof and a terminal opening spaced from the edge. Toward this end there is provided a generally rigid L-shaped ledge formed on the bottom of the first end of the housing to define with the housing an edge receiving recess for receiving the edge of the circuit board.
