Integral terminals are formed on the bare ends (4, 24, 64, 84) of insulated wires (2, 22, 62, 82). Male and female terminal configurations are stamped and formed on the wires. When necessary the bare wire ends are upset to increase the width of the portion of the bare wire on which the terminals are formed. Cylindrical pins (10) can be formed by removing material and cylindrical sockets (8) can be formed by drilling and reaming the end of a wire that may have been upset by a cold heading operation. Retention flanges (38) can be formed to retain pins (30) and sockets (28) in a connector housing (40). Hermaphroditic blade terminals (62) can also be formed on bare wire ends. Quick disconnect tabs (92) can be formed by forming a flat blank from the bare wire (84) or from an upset section (88) of the bare wire. |
