Abstract (en)
An electrical terminal (10) stamped and formed from a single thickness of metal stock comprises a hollow body portion (12) and a plurality of contact sections (22, 24) extending forwardly therefrom, first and second opposing transition portions (36, 42), and a double layer barrel portion (48). The transition portions (36, 42) coextend rearwardly from respective opposing side sections (14, 16) of hollow body portion (12). The double layer barrel portion (48) including first and second barrel sections (50, 56) which extend rearwardly from respective first and second transition portions (36, 42), the first barrel section (50) being nested within the second barrel section (56) such that a seam (53) of first barrel section (50) is basically diametrically opposed from a seam (59) of second barrel section (56) and a continuous portion of second barrel section (56) overlies the seam (53) of said first barrel section (50). Upon crimping double barrel portion (48) to a wire member (70), barrel portion (48) simulates a continuous annular body and first and second transition portions (36, 42) provide for improved transmission of current from wire (70) and through terminal (10) without excessive heating. A method for making terminal (10) is also disclosed herein.
