  • Surface mount crimp terminal and method of crimping an insulated conductor therein
    Patent number: 7591666
    Abstract: A surface mount insulation terminal is formed of flat deformable conductive member to provide a substantially uniform U-shaped cross-section to form a wire-receiving channel. One or more piercing spikes are formed on a bottom wall of the channel and point to an opposing open side through which a conductor may be introduced. Ribs inside the channel provide an interference fit with a conductor introduced into the channel. A crimping tool lowered into engagement with the terminal after it has been soldered to a PCB increasingly deforms the side walls of the terminal inwardly towards each other and towards the bottom wall to enhance the electrical and mechanical properties of the resulting termination.
    Type: Grant
