Abstract (en)

Where the U-shaped insulation support ferrule (12) of an electrical terminal is to be crimped to a cable (20/) having thin walled insulation (24/), for example irradiated insulation, the wall thickness of which is as small as between 13% to 22% of the total diameter (D/) of the cable (20/), the crimping die (58) has surfaces which form end portions of ears (16) of the ferrule (12) into scrolls (50) having smoothly arcuate surfaces (52) which resiliently engage the cable insulation (24/) at spaced positions (54), so that the cable (20/) is supported between the scrolls (50) and the base (14) of the ferrule (12) in symmetrical relationship therewith, and the ears (16) do not penetrate the cable insulation (24/).
