Abstract
A terminal for making an electrical connection to a spark plug. The terminal has a first end for attachment to a wire and a second end having a spark plug terminal barrel. The terminal barrel includes two tabs that are curved to converge on each other forming a seam. The tabs are welded together to prevent the tab from being spread open, particularly under side-load conditions.
