  • Patent number: 9853366
    Abstract: A crimp contact is disclosed. The crimp contact has a receptacle extending in a longitudinal direction up to a receptacle end, a crimp section extending along the receptacle and beyond the receptacle end to a front end, and a wing extending from the crimp section between the receptacle end and the front end transversely to the longitudinal direction, the wing having a conductor displacing member overlapping the receptacle in the longitudinal direction. The receptacle receives a conductor in the longitudinal direction. The crimp section encloses the conductor subsequent to crimping.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9397410
    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.

  • Patent number: 8210884
    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.
