Abstract
A terminal is provided with a body sized to be received within a receptacle. A distal region extends lengthwise from the body in a receptacle direction. At least one portion of the distal region extends centrally inward into the receptacle to receive a pin to deform and maintain contact with the received pin. A lengthwise extending proximal region is connected to the body and spaced apart from the distal region. At least one portion of the proximal region extends radially outward to engage a side wall of the receptacle to enhance contact of the terminal with the receptacle. A receptacle assembly is provided for receiving one or a plurality of terminals.
