Abstract
An electrical terminal includes a planar base portion having a base portion outer surface, a base portion inner surface, and two securing tabs extending from an edge of the base portion. The electrical terminal also includes a planar attachment portion having an attachment portion outer surface, an attachment portion inner surface, and an attachment member extending from the attachment portion outer surface. The attachment member is configured to secure a wire cable to the electrical terminal. The base portion inner surface is arranged such that it is in contact with the attachment portion inner surface and the two securing tabs are bent over the attachment portion outer surface. The electrical terminal may be especially well suited for making an electrical connection to components disposed on a glass surface. A method for forming such a terminal is also presented.
