ABSTRACT:
A terminal (24) on the end of the core element for attachment to a ball stud (26) and having a top (28) and bottom (30) and a hole extending between the top (28) and the bottom (30) for receiving the ball stud (26). The terminal (24) is characterized by three top fingers (32) disposed in the hole for engaging and retaining the ball stud (26) when inserted into the hole from the top (28) of the terminal (24) and three bottom fingers (34) disposed in the hole for engaging and retaining the ball stud (26) when inserted into the hole from the bottom (30) of the terminal (24). The top fingers (32) cross the bottom fingers (34) axially of the hole for the distal ends of top fingers (32) to engage a first shoulder (27) to prevent movement of the ball stud (26) in one axial direction and for the distal ends of the bottom fingers (34) to engage the bottom of the ball to prevent movement of the ball stud (26) in the opposite axial direction.
