Abstract
A cable assembly includes a flat flexible cable having a plurality of conductors embedded within an insulation material. A portion of each of the conductors is exposed a shared opening selectively formed in the insulation material, allowing for a crimping portion of an electrically conductive terminal to engage with the conductor within the opening. The crimping portion of the terminal includes a base defining at least one protrusion extending therefrom, and first and second sidewalls extending from the base. The base and the first and second sidewalls define an opening receiving the conductor therein. In a crimped state of the terminal, the first sidewall is folded into the opening for crimping the conductor within the opening and against the protrusion.
