Abstract
A connector terminal for joining a round type electric wire with a flat type electric wire. The connector terminal comprises a first crimpable portion for securing the round wire to a first end of the connector terminal, and a clasping portion for securing the flat wire to a second end of the connector terminal, the clasping portion comprising a first and second spring portion, a projecting portion projecting from the clasping portion toward the flat wire, and second crimpable portion for compressing the flat electric wire between the first and second spring portion by securing the first spring portion to the second spring portion. The projecting portion may receive solder so that the first type electric wire can be spot welded to the connector terminal. The resulting connection is extremely compact, reliable, and provides a stable electrical connection over time.
