Abstract
A terminal has a body sized to be received within a receptacle. An intermediate region extends lengthwise from the body in a receptacle direction. At least one portion of the intermediate region extends centrally inward into the receptacle to receive a pin to deform and maintain contact with the received pin. A retention member is provided on a distal end of the central extending portion to engage an inner wall of the receptacle and, during deformation, to extend along the wall thereby providing a reaction force to the at least one portion of the intermediate region to enhance contact with the pin and to enhance contact with the receptacle. A receptacle assembly is provided for receiving one or plurality of terminals.
