There is disclosed an electrical terminal configured for facilitating electrical access to an electrical device. The terminal is comprised of a rod of electrically conductive material having an attachment length, free end, and a strain-relieving structure intermediate the attachment length and the free end. The strain-re-lieving structure extends from the attachment length, at which the joint between the electrical terminal and the electrical device is effected, for a distance along the rod sufficient to traverse the edge of the electrical device and extend into free space. The strain-relieving structure, in its preferred embodiment, comprises a segment of the rod broaded in a first plane substantially parallel to the contact surface of the electrical device to which the termination structure is joined to a dimension greater than the rod and narrowed in a second plane substantially perpendicular to the first plane to a dimension less than the rod. |
