  • Electrical terminal with means to insure that a positive electrical connection is effected
    Patent number: 5122066
    Abstract: An electrical terminal (2) for making an electrical connection between an electrical device and a printed circuit board (18). The terminal (2) has a resilient section (6) which is provided between a contact receiving section (8) and a mounting section (4). The resilient section (6) can compensate for misalignment and board warpage. The contact receiving section (8) has a pair of resilient legs (70, 72) which are positioned on either side of an opening (60), thereby allowing the opening to compensate for misalignment of a mating connector (94).
