Abstract
An improved pin terminal configuration obviates bowing and cracking of associate housings which often occurs with force fit insertion of standard pin terminals. The subject pin terminals are formed in pairs having compatible intermediate mounting portions with profiled enlargements and recesses which allow for corresponding displacement of and reception of housing material flowing as a result of the insertion process. The intermediate mounting portions are so spaced on the respective pin terminals as to lie substantially centrally of the thickness of the associate housing.
