Abstract: Electrical connector assembly comprises an insulating housing having terminals in terminal-receiving cavities in the housing. The terminals have post portions which extend from a mounting face, the post portions being intended for insertion into plated holes in a panel-like member. The post portions have compliant spring portions that are compressed upon insertion and establish contact with the plated metal in the holes. The assembly has improved force transmitting surfaces on the terminals and on the walls of the terminal-receiving cavities so that the assembly can be assembled to the panel-like member by merely aligning the post portions with the holes and applying insertion forces to the face of the housing which is opposite to the mounting face.
