Eyelet terminal with retainer

Apparatus for achieving electrical connection between a conductor and a member having a hole passing therethrough between opposite first and second surfaces of the member, the hole defining an annular inner surface of the member, the apparatus comprising:

• an eyelet terminal for connection to the conductor and having a substantially annular sleeve for insertion into the hole to make electrical contact with the inner surface of the member and a plurality of fingers projecting radially outward from the sleeve to make contact with the first surface of the member adjacent the hole when the sleeve is in the hole;
• and
• a retainer having a shaft for insertion through the sleeve and of sufficiently large diameter to urge the sleeve outwardly into contact with the inner surface of the member, a cap at a first end of the shaft to contact the fingers and a flange extending radially outward from a second end of the shaft to contact the second surface of the member and thereby retain the eyelet terminal in engagement with the member.

Apparatus for achieving electrical connection between a conductor and a member having a hole passing therethrough between opposite first and second surfaces of the member, the apparatus comprising:

• a terminal having a first portion for fitting inside of the hole and making electrical contact with an interior surface of the hole, and a second portion extending radially outward from the first portion over the first surface adjacent the hole, said terminal having a central opening;
• and
• a retainer for insertion through the central opening and the hole to retain the terminal in contact with the member and urge the first portion of the eyelet terminal radially outward into contact with the interior surface of the hole.
