ABSTRACT:
A clip-type electrical terminal has a base and at least two substantially parallel resilient cantilever beam members attached to the base and longitudinally projecting outwardly therefrom, the beam members being elongated in the direction of their projections from the base. The beam members are separated to form a gap therebetween and to define facing inner edges thereof. The beam members define outer ends of the terminal, which outer ends form a notch having a first pair of beam member edge portions that form a funnel-like angle defining a guide channel. A second pair of beam member edge portions are contiguous with the first-mentioned edge portions, such that the guide channel is coextensive with at least a portion of the gap formed between the beam members. This second pair of beam member edge portions also defines a wire-insulation slicer having sharp edges at the intersection of the second beam member edge portions and the first beam member edge portions such that an insulated wire, upon entering the notch, is guided by the notch and guide channel to the insulation slicer so as to have the insulation sliced therefrom as the wire passes through the guide channel.
