Abstract
A method of forming an electrical terminal is presented herein. The method includes the step of stamping an electrical terminal preform from a sheet of metal. The electrical terminal preform having a base plate, a plurality of contact arms radially extending from the base plate, a wire attachment feature radially extending from the base plate, and a carrier strip. The base plate defines crimp wings. The method also includes the step of bending each of the plurality of contact arms to form a socket configured to receive a mating electrical terminal.
