A terminal pin (2) for an electrical appliance is disclosed wherein a surface of the pin is provided with an impression (8) indicative of the origin of the pin. The surface of the pin around the impression is substantially flat, to allow a proper electrical contact to be obtained with a corresponding socket connector. This is achieved by pressing into the surface of the pin a die having an impression forming projection upstanding from a land, the die being pressed into the surface to the extent that the said land contacts and controls the deformation of the surface around the impression formed by the projections. |
