Abstract
An electrical sleeve terminal of one piece construction comprises a split sleeve for engaging a mating terminal and a crimp barrel for attaching the terminal to an electric cable. The split sleeve has six circumferentially spaced beams that have contact dimples in an alternatively staggered arrangement to biasingly engage the mating terminal in two planes. The split sleeve has flanges at the respective edges of the split that are securely fastened together. The crimp barrel is an integral extension of one flange and a separate finger that is an integral extension of the other flange is fixed in the crimp barrel to engage the conductor of the electric cable.
