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.
