ABSTRACT:
The terminal assembly includes a terminal element made of yieldable material and a tubular post made of soft, flowable material. One end portion of the terminal element is defined by a slotted tube-like member adapted to telescope into the post. When the post and the tube-like member are squeezed axially together during assembly, the tube-like member collapses axially and expands radially to cause the soft material of the post to flow into and interlock with the slots and thereby establish a positive electrical and mechanical connection between the terminal element and the post.
