<p>Terminal for mounting on a circuit board has mounting means comprising first (22) and second (22 min ) coextensive mounting legs extending from the terminal and having free ends (30, 30 min ) which are remote frog the terminal. The legs are intended to be inserted into a hole (9) in a circuit board (8). The legs have retaining portions (24, 24 min ) adjacent to the terminal and reduced width portions (28, 28 min ) extending from the retaining portions to the free ends. In order to improve the retention of the legs in the hole (9), camming means (50, 46 min ) are provided on the reduced width portions which cause the retaining portions to move apart during final stages of movement of the legs (22, 22 min ) into the circuit board hole (9) and thereby establish an interterence fit of the legs in the circuit board hole.</p> |
