ABSTRACT:
An insulated terminal is disclosed for connection to the end of an insulated electrical wire having an exposed end of the conductor core projecting from the wire insulation. An angled insulating housing is provided with a through passage having a first passage portion communicating with and at an angle to a second passage portion. The first passage portion includes an open end for receiving a complementary mating terminal, and the second passage portion includes an open end for receiving the insulated electrical wire. A terminal is positioned into the first passage portion through the open end thereof. The terminal includes an outward contact section for connection to the mating terminal and an inward crimp section communicating with the second passage portion for crimping onto the conductor core of the insulated electrical wire inserted into the second passage portion. A crimp ferrule is positioned into the second passage portion in alignment with the crimp section for crimping onto the insulation of the insulated electrical wire. The invention contemplates a method of fabricating a fully insulated terminal according to the above, along with crimping the crimp section onto the conductor core and crimping the crimp ferrule onto the wire insulation in a single operation.
