Abstract
A two piece male terminal having a contact member and an attachment member. The contact member has a round solid pin at its forward end portion, an integral collar defining a radially extending abutment at its midportion and a round clamping portion behind the collar and a flattened rearward end portion. The attachment member has an attachment portion at its forward end portion that is tightly clamped around the clamping portion of the contact member and a cable attachment means at the rearward end portion which receives the flattened rearward end portion of the contact member so that the flattened end portion engages the cable at its core when the two piece terminal is attached to the cable. In addition, the clamping portion of the contact member is swedged to define a post extending radially outwardly of the outer surface of the clamping portion and the attachment member has a slot which receives the post when it is rolled onto the clamping portion. The post is coined to define a flange which engages the attachment member at locations surrounding the slot to securely retain the attachment member to the contact member.
