<p>A stamped and formed terminal post (11) having a compliant portion (16, 16') comprising first and second strip metal portions (12, 12' or 32, 32') fixed together at opposite ends to present planar rolled surfaces (13, 13') extending partially overlapping in face-to-face engagement. Remote edges (19, 19') of the respective strip portions (12, 12' or 32, 32') are laterally offset to engage the internal periphery of a through-hole (22) during insertion to effect sliding engagement of the surfaces (13, 13'). The compliant portion is formed by folding a strip through 180 degrees about a transverse axis to bring the overlapping portions of the rolled surfaces (13, 13') into engagement and securing the free ends together. In one example, the stock is split (33, 33') adjacent the fold to form two opposed, sheared edges (36, 37) that abut to resist movement together of the strip portion (12, 12') to increase the insertion force.</p> |
