Abstract

A conductive terminal for receiving a conductor is disclosed. The terminal includes a base and two resilient beams extending from the base. Generally distal the base, the beams define a mouth for receiving the conductor. The beams have facing inner edges which define a slot extending from the mouth. The beams define a generally egg-shaped aperture in an area extending between the slot and the base.
