Abstract
An electrical contact for attachment to an insulated wire includes an insulator crimp section ( ) having a pair of insulation engaging arms ( ) which are offset from each in an axial direction of the wire. The insulation engaging arms include facing edges ( ) which are arranged to contact each other along a spiral track when the insulation engaging arms are press-bonded to the insulation of the wire. Inside beveled surfaces ( ) and outside beveled surfaces ( ) serve to guide the insulation engaging arms into position and to facilitate sliding contact between the facing edges ( ) during the press-bonding. The inside beveled surfaces ( ) also provide a gap ( B) which serves as a relief area for compressed insulation. As a result of the press-bonding, the insulation engaging arms ( ) are formed into an integral unit and are strongly fastened to the insulation of the electrical wire.
