Abstract
A blow-off terminal includes a flat conductive tang, a flat conductive input section, and a flat conductive output section. The input section includes a pair of generally parallel U-shaped strips. Each of the pair of strips includes first and second end portions and a center portion bridging the first and second end portions. The first and second end portions and the center portion of each of the pair of strips are generally co-planar, and the tang and the output section are generally co-planar. The output section is elongated and includes first and second ends, the first end being disposed closer to the tang than the second end. The first end portions of the strips are connected perpendicular to opposite sides of the tang, and the second end portions are connected perpendicular to opposite sides of the second end of the output section. A stationary contact is mounted to the surface of the output section.
