The snap terminal of the present invention is provided with a top wall, a vertical wall, an annular flange, and an annular setoff extending therefrom. The setoff is positioned concentric to the open portion of the terminal. In use, the setoff provides a space between the flange and a component for receiving a minimum volume of solderable material. The setoff further prevents excess solderable material from flowing into the open portion of the terminal when the terminal is soldered to a component. The terminal may be formed in a one-piece unitary construction.
