1. A stackable terminal assembly configured to mount to a structure in a vehicle, the stackable terminal assembly comprising:
a first eyelet terminal body having a base portion that is generally flat and configured to extend generally parallel to the structure, a pair of upstanding wall walls extending from opposed sides of the base portion generally normal to the base portion, and a mounting feature configured to allow for securement of the first eyelet terminal body to the structure; and
a second eyelet terminal body having a flat base that is generally flat and configured to extend generally parallel to the structure between the base portion and the structure, a second mounting feature configured to allow for securement of the second eyelet terminal body between the structure and the first eyelet terminal body, wherein the second eyelet terminal body includes a first arm extending from the flat base so that it is laterally offset from an end of the first eyelet terminal body where the first eyelet terminal body connects to a wiring harness, whereby the first arm has a bending strength increased by the pair of upstanding walls of the first eyelet terminal body.
