Abstract
An electrical terminal is adapted for use with an electrical conductor. The terminal has a terminating portion with a generally U-shaped cross-section having a web and a pair of sidewalls extending from two opposite longitudinal edges of the web. The sidewalls are generally trapezoidally shaped with relatively wide bases, joined to the longitudinal edges of the web, and relatively narrow tips. The bases are transversely aligned across the web. The tips are offset across the web so that the tips are spaced longitudinally of the web. Therefore, the tips will bypass each other when crimped toward each other to terminate the electrical conductor, all within the longitudinal confines of the bases of the sidewalls.
