Abstract
An electrical terminal including a base pad for soldering to a glass substrate surface. The base pad has a curved perimeter that is generally circular, and top and bottom surfaces. The electrical terminal also includes a securement portion having a deformable member for deforming around a conductor wire to capture and secure the conductor wire directly to the securement portion. The securement portion is configured relative to the base pad such that forces exerted by the conductor on the base pad are directed to a central region of the base pad. Two or more cable/terminal assemblies can be attached to a carrier strip by breakable regions to facilitate installation.
