ABSTRACT:
This invention is directed to a terminal formed from a sheet metal blank and adapted to terminate an insulated wire, where said blank is formed into a housing having a cavity therein as defined by a first opening for receiving said insulated wire, and a second opening through which said wire projects. Attached to said housing at said second opening is a crimping member pivotal from an open to a closed position. The crimping member is characterized by a V-shaped slot having downwardly diverging sharp edge portions for cutting the insulation about said wire. Electrical contact with said wire and pivotal action of said crimping member is effected by the movement of the insulated wire into said first opening to project out of said second opening, followed by a limited reverse movement or withdrawal thereof.
