Abstract
A spade terminal of unitary sheet metal construction comprises a flanged forward portion, a triple layer median portion and a rearward attachment portion. The flanges extend in opposite direction to a height equal to a layer thickness. The triple layer median portion comprises upper and lower wings which terminate short of opposite longitudinal sides so that each longitudinal side is a double layer. This configuration permits use with an insulator body having guide channels for the forward and median portions of the terminal which can be made in a butt cored mold.
