Abstract: This invention provides a snap-in terminal for electrical connection between an external conductor and a conductive film deposited on a nonconductive substrate. The terminal is stamped from a flat sheet of resilient conductive material and comprises a center position having a forward extension to which the external conductor may be attached and a rearward extension curved downward for establishing electrical contact with the film on the substrate, and a plurality of legs extending outward from the center portion and bent about 90.degree. downward from the center portion, each leg having at its terminus a tab. The terminal is installed by inserting the legs into a slot in the substrate contiguous with the film. The tabs deflect to fit within the restricted space of the slot and then recover their original position as they emerge from the slot at the bottom of the substrate, thereby securing the terminal to the substrate.
