Abstract: Crimp connecting terminals to insulated wires either with or without prior removal as by stripping of the insulation from the end portion of those wires is disclosed herein. The terminals are particularly suited for use in multiconductor connector assemblies and may be selectively treated to impart enhanced resilience to the connection forming portion of the terminal while maintaining the crimp connecting end thereof more malleable for better crimp electrical connection to the wires.A terminal arrangement for securing contacts within a supporting body.
