ABSTRACT:
A plug-in terminal for connecting a stranded insulated conductor with a conductive path on a circuit board includes a barrel of ductile metal for receiving a stripped end of the conductor. The barrel has a first section at a first end thereof for gripping the insulation on the conductor adjacent the stripped end, a second openended section at a second and opposite end thereof for surrounding and loosely gripping the strands at the extremity of the stripped end, and a third section, between the first and the second sections, for surrounding and tightly gripping the strands. After being crimped onto the conductor, the terminal is extended through a hole formed through the circuit board and the conductive path thereon. Locating and locking tabs extend from the terminal to position the terminal within the hole with the second section projecting beyond the conductive path, and to then secure the terminal within the hole. Solder applied over the second section and the conductive path enters, as a result of the strands being loosely gripped within the second section, within the open end of the second section and around the strands to effect a secure electrical and mechanical connection between the terminal, the strands, and the path.
