A rigid wire of an electrical component is disposed in the channel generally adjacent to the seat. The wire has a width Wthat is greater than the width Wso surfaces of the channel at the narrowest section defined by width Winterfere 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.
