  • Patent number: 11545802
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a fork structure having a pair of arms disposed in spaced relation and defining an open-ended channel therebetween. A surface of channel defines a seat opposite the open end. The channel has a width W1 at its narrowest section. A rigid wire of an electrical component is disposed in the channel generally adjacent to the seat. The wire has a width W2 that is greater than the width W1 so surfaces of the channel at the narrowest section defined by width W1 interfere with the wire, preventing the wire from moving towards the open end of the channel. The pair of arms are constructed and arranged to be moved toward each other so as to crimp the wire to the fork structure.
