Abstract
An electrical terminal () having an electrical contact () and a crimp barrel () configured to be crimped around an end of a wire. The crimp barrel () includes a base () and opposing side walls () that define an opening () of the crimp barrel (). The side walls () extend outwardly from the base () to ends () and include base segments () and end segments (). A sealing wing () extends from the end of at least one of the side walls (). The side walls () are configured to be folded over the wire when crimped such that a gap is defined between the end segment () and the base segment () of at least one of the side walls (). The sealing wing () is configured to extend within the gap between the end segment () and the base segment () when the side walls () are crimped over the end of the wire.
