Abstract
Stamped and formed sheet metal terminal device has improved mounting means for mounting terminal on a circuit board. Mounting means comprises first and second coextensive mounting legs extending from the terminal and having free ends which are remote from the terminal. The legs have retaining portions adjacent to the terminal and reduced width portions extending from the retaining portions to the free ends. Camming means are provided on the reduced width portions which cause the retaining portions to move apart during final stages of movement of the legs into the circuit board hole and thereby establish an interference fit of the legs in the circuit board hole.
