THE TERMINAL HAS A PIN ENGAGING PORTION (10) WHICH HAS A PAIR OF CONTACT ARMS (24, 26) WHICH ARE POSITIONED TO MAKE ELECTRICAL ENGAGEMENT WITH A MATING PIN. A RETENTION PORTION (12) EXTENDS FROM THE PIN ENGAGING PORTION. SIDE EDGES (40) OF THE RETENTION PORTION ARE DIMENSIONED TO CREATE A FRICTIONAL INTERFERENCE WITH SIDE WALLS OF A CAVITY OF THE SOCKET. A MOUNTING PORTION (14) EXTENDS FROM THE RETENTION PORTION IN AN OPPOSITE DIRECTION FROM THE PIN ENGAGING PORTION. THE MOUNTING PORTION HAS A PAIR OF RESILIENT LEGS (50, 52) WHICH EXTEND FROM THE RETENTION PORTION TO A SOLDER PAD (62) WHICH IS SOLDERED TO A SUBSTRATE. THE SOLDER PAD IS SPACED FROM THE RETENTION PORTION A SUFFICIENT DISTANCE TO ALLOW THE RESILIENTLY COMPENSATE FOR MISALIGNMENT OR MOVEMENT OF THE SOLDER RELATIVE TO THE SOLDER PAD.
