<p>An elongate electrical terminal 10 with a deformed mounting portion 16 adapted to be press fitted into a circuit board aperture in an edgecard connector. The mounting portion is a generally cylindrical body with symmetrically opposed generally oval-shaped voids extending lengthwise therein so as to have a substantially bow-tie shaped cross-section with convex ends which plastically deforms at its reduced centre region when pressed into a circuit board aperture, so as to provide a high retention force under torsional stress without solder bonding.</p> |
