<p>A combination comprising an electrical terminal (10) and a panel member with a panel member aperture, the electrical terminal (10) comprising: a tip (28), a base (12) and a mounting end (14), wherein the base (12) and the mounting end (14) define a plane (66); an intermediate compliant portion (18) connecting the base (12) and the tip (28), the intermediate compliant portion (18) comprising a first leg member (22) with a first leg portion lying in the plane and a second portion (38, 40, 42) deformed in a first direction away from the plane (66), a second leg member (24) with a third leg portion lying in the plane and a fourth portion (38, 40,42) deformed in a second direction away from the plane (66), and an elongated opening (20) positioned between the first leg member (22) and the second leg member (24), wherein the legs (20, 24) have vertically aligned centres (23) of deformation where the deformation of the legs (20, 24) is nonlinear and the centres (23) of deformation are offset from a centre (21) of the elongated opening (20) where the elongated opening (20) extends a first distance from the centres (23) of deformation toward the tip (28) and a second distance from the centres (23) of deformation toward the base (12) and where the first distance is less than the second distance, wherein the elongated opening (20) and the first, second, third and fourth leg portions cooperate to achieve a substantially uniform insertion force profile upon insertion of the electrical terminal into the panel member aperture.</p> |
