In a terminal, an engaging portion for engaging the walls of an aperture formed in a housing or a printed circuit board, in which the aperture is substantially rectangular in cross-sectional area configuration. The engaging portion comprises a pair of curved, substantially parallel beams extending longitudinally through the aperture. The two beams are curved in the same direction with the two ends of the concave sides of the beams pressing against one major wall of the aperture and the center portion of the convex side of the beam pressing against the other major wall of the aperture. Further, the two beams are bowed outwardly from each other with their side edges pressing against the side walls of the aperture, thereby producing an overall force-fit effect in which the aperture engaging portion of the terminal exerts force in all four directions against the sidewalls of the aperture and is rigidly secured therein. |
