Abstract
A terminal (20; 20') comprised of a tubular metal sleeve (23; 33') includes four insulation slicing-conductor penetrating fins (26; 42) and a coaxially disposed conductor penetrating conical spike (32, 40) to provide a redundant electromechanical connection with a center conductor (16) of a wire (10), the fins extending longitudinally along and radially inward from the interior wall (24A) of the sleeve (23; 33') to terminate in a penetrating point (26p; 44) and the conical spike (32, 40) terminating in a point (32A; 45A) for impaling itself into the center conductor (16), the fins longitudinally slicing through the wire insulation (12) to expose the conductor (16) and the conical spike (32; 40) simultaneously impaling itself into the center of the conductor to expand the conductor and the sliced insulation radially outward, inward radial crimping of the sleeve driving the fins into the conductor and press-fitting the insulation segments against the sleeve to form a mechanical fitment therewith.
