TERMINAL/CONNECTOR HAVING INTEGRAL OXIDE BREAKER ELEMENT

摘要

A one piece integral electrical terminal 100 has a mount portion 104 and a wire receiving portion 102. The wire receiving portion 102 has a continuous annular interior wall 133 having a contact portion with an integral oxide breaker 158 especially suited to breaking through the oxide layer on aluminum wire. The wire receiving portion 102 also has a sealing portion 136 with at least one integral seal ring 146. An electrical cable is made by crimping the electrical terminal 100 to an aluminum wire using a modified hexagonal crimp.
