ABSTRACT:
A metallic terminal for use with a conductor having a conductive core and a jacket of insulation about the core. The terminal includes a deformable barrel for receiving the conductor, and a portion for contacting another electrical component. The barrel has an axis and includes a channel with a first end and a second end extending generally parallel to the axis. The barrel further includes a finger extending from the first channel end at least substantially across the opening of the channel and having a pointed distal end directed inside the channel. The barrel further includes a first abutment associated with the first channel end for engagement by one of the jaws of a pliers, and a second abutment associated with the second end of the channel for engagement by the other of the jaws of the pliers. Thus, after insertion of the conductor into the barrel with the core, from which a jacket portion is stripped, folded back over the jacket, closing of the jaws of the pliers results in the channel being deformed to compressively hold the conductor and the finger distal end piercing the jacket but not the core. A method of using the terminal is also disclosed.
