Disclosed is an insulative header assembly with electrical feed through terminals therein. The header includes at least one tapered opening therethrough. A depression or counterbore at the narrow end of the tapered opening forms a shoulder therewith. A metallic one-piece feedthrough terminal with a tapered portion is forced into the tapered opening tightly enough to form a seal therewith. Part of the tapered portion extends into the recess or depression. The metal in the depression is flared to overlap the shoulder and thus securely fix the terminal in place. There are splines in the depression, and the metal that is forced into the depression conforms to the shape of the splines and thus rotatably restrains the terminal in the header.
