Abstract: An electrical terminal (10) having an electrical contact (18) and a crimp barrel (20) configured to be crimped around an end of a wire. The crimp barrel (20) includes a base (22) and opposing side walls (24) that define an opening (25) of the crimp barrel (20). The side walls (24) extend outwardly from the base (22) to ends (50) and include base segments (52) and end segments (54). A sealing wing (56) extends from the end of at least one of the side walls (24). The side walls (24) are configured to be folded over the wire when crimped such that a gap is defined between the end segment (54) and the base segment (52) of at least one of the side walls (24). The sealing wing (56) is configured to extend within the gap between the end segment (54) and the base segment (52) when the side walls (24) are crimped over the end of the wire.

Abstract: An electrical terminal is provided for terminating a wire. The electrical terminal includes an electrical contact and a crimp barrel extending from the electrical contact. The crimp barrel is configured to be crimped around an end of the wire. The crimp barrel includes a base and opposing side walls that extend from the base. The base and the side walls define an opening of the crimp barrel that is configured to receive the end of the wire therein. The side walls extend outwardly from the base to ends. The side walls include base segments that extend from the base and end segments that extend from the base segments and include the ends. A sealing wing extends from the end of at least one of the side walls. The side walls are configured to be folded over when crimped over the end of the wire such that a gap is defined between the end segment and the base segment of at least one of the side walls.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly for a utility power transmission system includes a first conductive member having a first hook portion and a first base wedge portion with the first hook portion extending from the first wedge portion and is adapted to engage a main conductor. A second conductive member includes a hook portion and a wedge portion with the hook portion extending from the wedge portion and adapted to engage a tap conductor. The wedge portion of the first conductive member and the wedge portion of the second conductive member are adapted to nest with one another and be secured to one another by hand without specialized tooling. The assembly further comprises a displacement stop that is located on at least one of the first and second conductive members once fully mated. The displacement stop is positioned to define a final displacement relation between the first and second conductive members.
