Abstract
A crimp terminal is adapted for terminating a magnet wire. The terminal includes a wire-receiving barrel defining a longitudinal axis. At least one serration extends axially of the barrel and defines an interior longitudinal edge for piercing the wire coating and engaging the conductor upon crimping the barrel onto the wire. Preferably, a plurality of the axially extending serrations define a plurality of circumferentially spaced longitudinal edges around the interior surface of the barrel. A plurality of axially and circumferentially spaced serrations may be disposed between at least some of the axially extending serrations.
