Abstract

The invention relates to a terminal and a method for terminating an electrical wire therein. The terminal employs a wire barrel having a asymmetrical pattern of cavities into which the wire is extruded. The method provides optimum electrical contact through high level deformation and maximum tensile strength through low level deformation.
