ABSTRACT:
A terminal capable of being secured to a flat wire to make electrical contact with the conductor in the wire. The terminal is secured to the wire by pressing the wire between adjacent parts of the terminal so that electrically conductive barbs on the terminal pierce the insulation on the wire to contact the conductor.
A pair of terminals capable of being secured to a flat wire having two spaced conductors so that each terminal in the pair makes electrical contact with one of the conductors in the wire. The terminals are coupled to each other by a weakened portion. While coupled, the terminals define a generally U-shaped member so that the wire can be confined between the legs of the U while it is being secured to each of the terminals. The terminals are secured to the wire by pressing it between adjacent parts of each terminal so that electrically conductive barbs on each terminal pierce the insulation on the wire to contact their respective conductors. The terminals are separated from each other at the weakened portion.
