    Patent number: 4110904
    Abstract: An electrical circuit component includes an apertured substrate having a circuit deposited on a surface and further includes a terminal lead seated in the aperture and having laterally extending flanged portions in clamping relationship at opposite sides of the substrate. The inserted portion of the terminal lead is provided with peripheral knurling to define collapsible ridges. The ridges engage the surface of the aperture as a temporary means of aligning the axes of the terminal lead and the aperture prior to upsetting a protruding end portion of the lead for permanent clamping retention of the substrate and the deposited circuitry.
