ASSEMBLY OF AN ELECTRICAL CONTACT TERMINAL IN AN ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE

摘要

An electric iron having electrical terminals connected to an electrical power cord. At least one of the terminals extends through a slot in a heat insulating skirt at the rear of the soleplate. The terminal substantially blocks the slot to reduce heat transfer through the slot. The terminal also has a narrow neck section above the slot to reduce heat transfer through the terminal. The terminal is twisted or bent at the narrow neck section to prevent the terminal from being pushed back through the slot.
