Abstract
An electrical circuit component includes an apertured, relatively flat substrate having a circuit deposited on a surface and with a terminal lead member lying along one of the opposed surfaces of the substrate with the inboard end of the lead having a supporting body portion and an integral portion offset with respect to the body portion. The lead includes a plurality of integral laterally extending projections, at least one of which projects from the body portion and the other of which projects from the offset portion of the lead member. The lead projections are inserted in respective apertures and are upset at their distal end portions to provide clamping retention and electrical continuity between the lead body portion and the substrate with its deposited circuitry.
