ABSTRACT:
An improved spade terminal having two receptacles for use on a printed circuit board, slidingly receives the prongs of spade connectors between flat surfaces. A pair of tabs forming the base of the terminal are inserted into and extend through a hole in a printed circuit board. Each of the tabs is provided with raised abutting means which maintain separation of the tabs after insertion into a circuit board thus allowing automated mechanical clinching of the tabs to firmly hold the terminal on the board prior to soldering. A continuous strip of stamped and formed terminals feed an automatic insertion head.
