Abstract
A post receiving receptacle having its blank form resemble a cross has a bottom surface with a pair of bowed contact arms bent upwardly from said bottom surface and facing each other to receive a terminal post therebetween. The top ends of the two contacts form a flared opening to facilitate post entry. A second pair of arms are bent upwardly from said bottom surface at right angles to said first pair of arms. The second pair of arms have their top ends bent outwardly to form a pair of ears which are to be bonded to conductive epoxy circuit traces on the surface of a substrate provided with a recess which wedgingly receives said receptacle. The sides of the hole provide a variable overstress support for the receptacle.
