ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises a contact terminal having a body with a forward end, a rearward end, an insulation crimping section, and a conductor crimping section. The body has a first stop member to engage insulation on a wire and prevent the insulation from being inserted further forward into the body. A second stop member engages an upper surface of a circuit board to prevent the body from being inserted further forward into a through hole in the circuit board. The second stop member being further forward on the body than the first stop member. When the body is inserted into the through hole in the circuit board, the first and the second stop members maintain the insulation on the wire spaced away from the circuit board thereby protecting the insulation from exposure to heat during soldering.
