Abstract
An electrical terminal (10) including a contact section (14) extending from a body section (12), and a pin section (16) extending from the body section to be inserted into a circuit board through hole (20). The pin section (16) is defined by a pair of spaced apart opposing legs (30) each having a compliant portion (42) defined by a pair of arcuate beams (48) spaced apart by a slot (50), the arcuate beam pair at outer edges (54) being larger in dimension than the through hole diameter. Insertion compresses the arcuate beams (48) of each pair together generating force in a first direction, and compresses the legs toward each other generating force in an orthogonal direction.
