Abstract
An improved electrical terminal is disclosed having a smooth surface of transition between a contact portion and a crimp portion of the terminal providing both strength for the terminal and an exterior surface which allows the terminal to be moved through a sealing membrane without damage to the membrane. The terminal is stamped and formed from conventional metal stock and has additional base material in an area formed into a conical shape by die tooling. When the terminal is crimped to a conductor, the transition and crimp area are simultaneously closed to provide a smooth strong transition between the crimp and the remainder of the terminal.
