Electrical terminals incorporating break-away pins

Claim 2

FOR USE IN AN ELECTRICAL TERMINAL, AN ELONGATED ELECTRODE HAVING A BODY INCLUDING A TAPERED EXPANSION SHOULDER IN ADVANCE OF AN ENLARGED CYLINDRICAL BODY PART, AN ESSENTIALLY FLAT CAP PORTION LYING BEYOND SAID ENLARGED BODY PART ON THE SIDE THEREOF OPPOSITE SAID EXPANSION SHOULDER, AN ELONGATED STEM DETACHABLY CONNECTED TO SAID BODY, SAID STEM PROJECTING OUTWARDLY FROM SAID ELECTRODE BODY IN ADVANCE OF SAID EXPANSION SHOULDER IN PROLONGATION OF THE LENGTH OF SAID ELECTRODE, AND A STOP FORMING SHOULDER OF LARGER DIAMETER THAN SAID STEM LYING IN ADVANCE OF SAID EXPANSION SHOULDER.

Claim 3

AN ELECTRICAL TERMINAL COMPOSING AN INSULATOR AND AN ELECTRODE, SAID INSULATOR BEING FORMED FROM A DISTORTABLE DIELECTRIC MATERIAL AND HAVING A CYLINDRICAL BODY TERMINATING AT ONE END IN AN ENLARGED HEAD, AN AXIAL BORE EXTENDING THROUGH SAID INSULATOR, SAID ELECTRODE COMPRISING AN ELONGATED PIN INSERTED IN SAID AXIAL BORE FROM THE END THEREOF OPPOSITE SAID ENLARGED HEAD, SAID ELECTRODE HAVING AN ENLARGED BODY PORTION POSITIONED TO LIE WITHIN THE CONFINES OF SAID INSULATOR WHEN THE TERMINAL IS ATTACHED TO A TERMINAL BOARD, AN ELONGATED STEM DETACHABLY CONNECTED TO SAID ELECTRODE, SAID STEM PROJECTING OUTWARDLY FROM SAID ELECTRRODE IN PROLONGATION OF ITS LENGTH AND EXTENDING OUTWARDLY BEYOND THE ENLARGED HEAD OF SAID INSULATOR, SAID ELECTRODE INCLUDING A SHOULDER LYING BEYOND THE ENLARGED BODY PORTION OF SAID ELECTRODE IN THE DIRECTION OF SAID STEM AND POSITIONED TO ACT AS A STOP, WHEREBY WHEN SAID STEM IS ENGAGED BY A TOOL HAVING A NOSE PORTION LYING IN ADVANCE OF JAW MEANS OPERATIVE TO EXERT A PULLING FORCE AXIALLY OF SAID STEM IN THE DIRECTION OF THE ENLARGED HEAD OF SAID INSULATOR, AXIAL MOVEMENT OF THE ELECTRODE RELATIVE TO THE INSULATOR WILL BE STOPPED WHEN THE SAID SHOULDER CONTACTS THE NOSE PORTION OF THE TOOL.

Claim 4

AN ELECTRICAL TERMINAL COMPOSING AN INSULATOR AND AN ELECTRODE, SAID INSULATOR BEING FORMED FROM A DISTORTABLE DIELECTRIC MATERIAL AND HAVING A CYLINDRICAL BODY TERMINATING AT ONE END IN AN ENLARGED HEAD, AN AXIAL BORE EXTENDING THROUGH SAID INSULATOR, SAID ELECTRODE COMPRISING AN ELONGATED PIN INSERTED IN SAID AXIAL BORE FROM THE END THEREOF OPPOSITE SAID ENLARGED HEAD, SAID ELECTRODE HAVING AN ENLARGED BODY PORTION POSITIONED TO LIE WITHIN THE CONFINES OF SAID INSULATOR WHEN THE TERMINAL IS ATTACHED TO A TERMINAL BOARD, AN ELONGATED STEM DETACHABLY CONNECTED TO SAID ELECTRODE, SAID STEM PROJECTING OUTWARDLY FROM SAID ELECTRRODE IN PROLONGATION OF ITS LENGTH AND EXTENDING OUTWARDLY BEYOND THE ENLARGED HEAD OF SAID INSULATOR, SAID ELECTRODE INCLUDING A SHOULDER LYING BEYOND THE ENLARGED BODY PORTION OF SAID ELECTRODE IN THE DIRECTION OF SAID STEM AND POSITIONED TO ACT AS A STOP, WHEREBY WHEN SAID STEM IS ENGAGED BY A TOOL HAVING A NOSE PORTION LYING IN ADVANCE OF JAW MEANS OPERATIVE TO EXERT A PULLING FORCE AXIALLY OF SAID STEM IN THE DIRECTION OF THE ENLARGED HEAD OF SAID INSULATOR, AXIAL MOVEMENT OF THE ELECTRODE RELATIVE TO THE INSULATOR WILL BE STOPPED WHEN THE SAID SHOULDER CONTACTS THE NOSE PORTION OF THE TOOL.
