Abstract: A cable assembly includes a terminal crimped to a conductor. The terminal has a plurality of crimps spaced from one another and a transition crimp disposed therebetween. A method includes deforming the terminal about the conductor to define the plurality of crimps having different crimp heights, and deforming the terminal about the conductor to define the transition crimp between each of the plurality of crimps. The transition crimp has a crimp height different than each of the plurality of crimps.

Abstract: A cable includes a terminal crimped onto the wire. The terminal defines a knurl having a first portion in contact with the wire and a second portion integrally formed with the first portion and in contact with the wire. The first portion is wider than the second portion. The terminal includes a material having a unitary configuration and configured to be crimped onto the wire. A plurality of knurls, each defining the first portion and the second portion, are integrally formed with the material, and the first portion is wider than the second portion. Moreover, a method includes deforming the terminal to have a substantially U-shaped knurl, wherein the U-shaped knurl has the first portion and the second portion, and deforming the second portion of the U-shaped knurl such that the first portion is wider than the second portion.
