Abstract (en)
[origin: US4114975A] {PG,1 Electrical connector comprises an insulating housing having a wire-receiving face into which a cavity extends. A sheet metal terminal is disposed in the cavity and has a displation type wire connecting portion adjacent to the wire-receiving face. The wire connecting portion comprises an elongated metal strip which has been reversely curled inwardly to form a cylindrical surface adjacent to the face and a free end which is spaced from an intermediate portion of the terminal. A wire-receiving slot extends into the strip at the free end and a wire-receiving opening is provided in the curled strip adjacent to the wire-receiving face. In use, a wire is inserted axially through the opening so that the end of the wire is located between the free end of the strip and the intermediate portion of the terminal. The wire connecting portion is then subjected to a force applied against the cylindrical portion of the terminal which causes the wire connecting portion to be further curled. Such curling causes the free end to move past the wire so that the slot receives the wire and establishes electrical contact therewith.
