Abstract: A two piece electrical terminal is shown where one part is comprised of a contact member having a contact section in the form of a pin and retention section. A conductor connecting member is comprised of a conductor connecting section and a retaining member. The contact member has a lug extending along one side thereof and the retaining member has a complementary opening which retains the contact member and conductor connecting member together.

Abstract: An electrical connector (20) having a housing block (24) with a plurality of passageways (50) having tapered portions (56) and straight portions (58) into which are inserted respective contact terminals (34). The passageways and the contact terminals are so designed that the contact terminals are press-fit into the passageways and displace dielectric material of the housing block to provide a "seal" which prevents solder flux from wicking up the passageways. In addition, the contact terminals are formed with a longitudinal knurl (38) to prevent rotation of the contact terminals after insertion. Still further, each contact terminal is formed with a frusto-conical retention collar (42) having a rearward facing surface (66) which, upon exiting a passageway, abuts against a recessed stop ledge (64) formed in the housing block to prevent the subsequent removal of the contact terminal from the housing block. The housing block (24) also includes channels (60) that aid in removal of solder flux.
