the invention provides a terminal for a coil . one embodiment of the invention is a housing made of molded insulating material : a projection molded into the housing ; a lug made of electrically conductive material and having a recess therein for accepting the projection molded into the housing for preventing motion of the lug in a first direction ; a support molded into the housing for supporting the lug and for preventing motion of the lug in a second direction ; a lip , molded into the housing , and the lip accepts a first end of the lug for preventing motion of the first end of the lug in a third direction ; and , a finger molded into the housing for securing a second end of the lug and preventing motion of the second of the lug in the third direction , thereby retaining the lug in the housing . the lug may snap under the finger . the housing may be a cup for retaining at least one coil bobbin , and there may be two coil bobbins . the support supports the lug so that the lug may rotate about a first surface of the support , the lip prevents rotation of the lug in a first rotational sense , the finger prevents rotation of the lug in a second rotational sense , and the projection prevents the lug from sliding along the upper surface of the lug . in another embodiment the lug has fingers which attach to the housing , and a hook which prevents the fingers from detaching and also holds an end of the lug in place by pressing the lug against a support .
