ABSTRACT:
A terminal pin is provided with a widened connecting section defining shoulders on the terminal so that the terminal serves as a standoff to support a device such as a coil remote from a circuit board. The terminal preferably is provided with ridges and grooves. The ridges have sloping surfaces which guide a wire into the grooves during assembly of a wire to the terminal. The surfaces bordering the grooves are adapted for frictional locking engagement with the wire. The wire can be fused to the terminal by a solderless fusing process. The ridges protect the wire from damage by the fusing electrodes, and deformation of the ridges preferably serves to lock the wire into the grooves. Preferably, the wire-receiving grooves are formed in the widened connecting section.
