ABSTRACT:
A contact terminal has a termination section at one end thereof including a spaced pair of axially-extending slots within each of which a respective one of a pair of conductor wires is held in interference fit for weld termination such as by laser welding. The terminal can be a ground terminal for the pair of ground conductors of a tri-lead cable. The terminal is stamped from a metal blank and its termination section is formed by striking an axially extending boss upwardly in the center thereof having parallel vertical side surfaces and a selected width, and bending parallel vertical sidewalls upward from side portions of the termination section spaced selected distances from the side surfaces of the central boss. The sidewalls may be higher than the top of the central boss and contain inwardly directed rounded bosses which hold the conductor wires in the respective slots prior to weld termination.
