Abstract

An electrical terminal is for use in an automotive wire harness connector. The electrical terminal has a conductor crimping portion for crimping the conductor of an electrical wire and a stabilizer which crimps the insulation coating of the electrical wire and prevents rolling of the electrical terminal. The stabilizer has a bottom plate which is partly cut to form an aperture, the portions of the bottom plate defining both ends of the aperture being bent and raised inward so as to enhance the crimping force on the insulation coating of the electrical wire.
