Abstract
An electrical distribution center including a printed circuit board having electronic components thereon and a first and second through hole formed in the print circuit board. A terminal is provided which may be a female tuning fork, male blade or blank for insertion in the first through hole. A solderable spring tab is stamped, bent and formed from the body the terminal. The solderable spring tab is inserted in the second through hole. The solderable spring tab compensates for movement of components due to the difference in thermal expansion of the printed circuit board, solder joint, and terminal material.
