An electrical contact crimp ear serration comprised of a plurality of teeth where each tooth has a cross-sectional profile comprising a leading face extending upwardly to an apex from the crimp ear surface, a central face extending downwardly from the apex to a valley below the crimp ear surface, and a trailing face extending upwardly from the valley to the crimp ear.

Electrical contact crimp ear serration

A low-profile, flag quick-connect terminal connector assembly where the connector, when assembled, is completely insulated. The electrically-conductive, metallic connector has a transition with an industry-standard crimp at one end and a contact at the other. The contact floor and pair of opposed retention rails form a tab slot that is perpendicular to, centered on, and offset from the transition. The rigid plastic insulator covers the connector so that no part of the connector is outside of the insulator. The insulator provides a pre-lock mechanism where the contact is inside and the crimp is outside, and a locking mechanism where the connector is entirely within the insulator.
