ABSTRACT:
An improved compliant section (30) for a terminal connectable to a circuit board (54), the compliant section (30) having legs (32) with outer edges (34) thereof forming selected shapes axially therealong and an elongate hole (38) having a selected shape stamped transversely through the terminal separating the legs (32) and defined between inwardly facing edges (36) thereof. The selected shapes of the leg outer edges (34) are continuous surfaces, first diverging then converging toward an insertion end (40) of the terminal and having a widest dimension at a selected axial location. The hole (38) has first and second ends (42, 44) and a transverse median M at a selected axial location. The hole (38) is offset axially with respect to outer edges (34) of the compliant section (30) such that the transverse median M of the hole (38) is staggered axially with respect to the widest dimension of the outer edges (34) of legs (32) and such that the width of each leg (32) between outer and inner edges (34, 36) at the first end (42) of the hole (38) is less than the width of each leg (32) at the opposite second end (44) of the hole (38).
