<p>An electrical terminal for mounting on a circuit board, comprises a metal post having a portion (113) of increased width which has been split longitudinally to form two limbs (115,115'). The limbs (115,115') have been pushed relatively away from each other parallel to the plane of the slit to lie in adjacent parallel planes and have been subsequently pushed towards each other across the plane of the slit to bring portions (116,116') of their oppositely facing rolled surfaces adjacent to the slit, into partially overlapping face-to-face engagement, so that remote edge portions (118,118') of the limbs (115,115') are engaged with the wall of a through hole in the circuit board during insertion thereinto. The limbs (115,115') are thereby forced further together with progressive sliding engagement of the rolled surface portions (116,116') across each other further into overlapping engagement. <IMAGE></p> |
