Abstract
A terminal for terminating an insulated conductor comprised of a crimp barrel having a strain relief section for crimping to the conductor insulation and a conductor gripping section for crimping to the bared end of the central conductor and a lug for connecting the terminated conductor to an electrical device. The lug extends away from the conductor gripping section towards the strain relief section and ends in an attachment section at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the conductor. The lug arrangement permits connection to terminals without bending the lug or conductor, and if made of spring material can be used to control the portion of electrical contacts.
