ABSTRACT:
An electrical terminal 10 stamped and formed from a single thickness of metal stock comprises a hollow body portion 12 and a plurality of contact sections 22, 24 extending forwardly therefrom, first and second opposing transition portions 36, 42, and a double layer barrel portion 48. The transition portions 36, 42 coextend rearwardly from respective opposing side sections 14, 16 of hollow body portion 12. The double layer barrel portion 48 includes first and second barrel sections 50, 56, which extends rearwardly from respective first and second transition portions 36, 42, the first barrel section 50 being nested within the second barrel section 56 such that a seam 53 of first barrel section 50 is basically diametrically opposed from a seam 59 of second barrel section 56 and a continuous portion of second barrel section 56 overlies the seam 53 of said first barrel section 50. Upon crimping double barrel portion 48 to a wire member 70, barrel portion 48 simulates a continuous annular body and first and second transition portions 36, 42 provide for improved transmission of current from wire 70 and through terminal 10 without excessive heating. A method for making terminal 10 is also disclosed herein.
