ABSTRACT:
A power port terminal formed by stamping from a blank of conductive material comprises a contact receiving socket portion and an integral mounting portion. The socket includes a web with a plurality of beams thereon. Each of the beams has a curved surface with a bend therein. The inner surface of the beams on the bends thereof define a substantially continuous cylindrical contact surface at a predetermined point along the reference axis of the terminal. The contact surface has a predetermined constricted dimension measured in a plane perpendicular to the reference axis, this dimension being the most constricted dimension along the reference axis of the terminal. The terminal is thereby able to accommodate a pin of any desired axial length. The trailing mounting portion has a set of mounting legs thereon that, the preferred instance, extend generally perpendicular to the reference axis of the terminal. Latch tabs may be provided one or more of the beams.
