ABSTRACT:
An elongated electrical terminal with a deformed mounting portion adapted to be press fit into a circuit board aperture in an edgecard connector. The mounting portion is a generally cylindrical body with symmetrically opposed oval shaped voids extending lengthwise therein. The terminal has contacts at both ends; one of the contacts is a spring arm, the other is a wire wrap tail. The spring arm has a free end parallel to, but off-set from the axis of the wire wrap tail. A plurality of such terminals are press fit into apertures in a supporting circuit board. An insulative connector housing adapted to receive a mating circuit board fits over the spring arm contacts and mates with the supporting circuit board to form an edgecard connector. The housing has an inside wall which restricts the free ends of the spring arms to movement only along a plane parallel to the axis of the tail of an inserted terminal, so as to insure electrical connection between the spring arms and the mating board when the latter is inserted into the connector.
