Abstract
A box-like plastic connector housing has one end thereof opened with slots extending down opposite walls from said open end. A raised, anvil-like portion extends from the bottom of said housing upwardly towards said open end with a flat surface on the top thereof positioned between said slots. A magnet wire is inserted in said slots and laid upon said anvil surface. A U-shaped terminal has two thin, flat legs joined together by a transverse element. A slot extends across said transverse element and down into the said two legs. Said U-shaped contact is inserted into said box-like housing with the transverse element being inserted first and with the slots in the terminal legs and the box-like housing being aligned, thereby trapping the wire between the closed ends of said aligned slots, and specifically with the closed end of the slots in said terminal clamping the magnet wire firmly down upon said anvil surface.
