ABSTRACT:
A terminal connector or lug for use as a termination for electrical cables is formed by an impacting process. The connector comprises an apertured mounting pad portion and an integral cylindrical tubular body portion having an open end and a closed end and adapted to be crimped onto an electrical cable. The pad is of a generally rectangular parallelepiped shape and extends longitudinally outwardly from the closed end of the tubular portion adjacent an outer peripheral region thereof. Opposite side portions of the inner end portion of the pad extend inwardly of the closed end of the tubular portion, and the wall closing the closed end of the tubular portion is of uniform thickness and is perpendicular to an upper surface of the pad. The region of intersection of the tubular portion and the pad provides a transitional section permitting the connector to be as short as possible and minimizing metal waste while presenting a current transfer area of adequate cross section so that the current carrying capacity throughout the length of the connector is sufficiently uniform to prevent any hot spots.
