The mating end includes a first longitudinal slot defined by opposed edges of the metal from which the terminal is formed and extending inwardly from the mating end. A second longitudinal slot is stamped from the metal of the terminal, diametrically opposed to the first slot. The second slot is completely closed and extends inwardly from a point spaced rearwardly from the pin receiving mating end.
