<p>An electrical terminal (10) which comprises a compliant retention section (14) that has been sheared thereby forming resilient leg members (22, 24) joined at their ends and having outer radiussed surfaces (30, 32) for springably and frictionally engaging a plated through hole (18) in an electrical panel member (20) when the compliant retention section (14) is inserted into the hole (18) and inner shear surfaces (26, 28) which extend between the ends and into the ends to at least the outermost points of the ends so that the inner shear surfaces (26, 28) frictionally engage and move along each other when the resilient leg members (22, 24) are flexed inwardly upon insertion of the compliant retention section (14) in the plated through hole (18).</p> |
